History and use of Olivgrun 252 color

The Olivgrun color (RAL 6003 or RLM) was widely used by the German military between 1943 and 1945 (World War II) as the base color for armored vehicles, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled guns, and technical support vehicles. Accurately replicating this color is crucial when building models such as the Tiger I, Panther, Sd.Kfz. 251 or Jagdpanther in scales 1/72, 1/35 or 1/48.
