Historical and modeling information

Vallejo 71268 German Gray paint was developed to most faithfully reproduce the original color of German vehicles used since the beginning of World War II. This color was the standard camouflaging color for tanks, armored personnel carriers, and other Wehrmacht vehicles from 1939–1943, making it an essential choice for any modeler building war dioramas from this period. Vallejo’s water-based paints provide a durable coating and excellent coverage even with just one or two layers.

Thanks to its high pigmentation, German Gray ensures historical authenticity. It combines perfectly with other Model Air series shades, allowing easy shading and color modulation to achieve realism in models in scales such as 1/35, 1/48, or 1/72.

Unique features:

• Fast-drying formula ensures an even coat without streaks
• Ready-to-use consistency for immediate airbrush application
