Historical information and application: Hataka HTK-C297 Erdgelb (RAL 840R – 8002) replicates the authentic color used on military equipment of the German armed forces during World War II. Erdgelb, according to the RAL 8002 standard, was commonly used on armored vehicles, transport vehicles, and engineering elements of the Wehrmacht from 1943 onwards. The paint served as a primary base color for camouflage, combined with other shades such as Dunkelgrün or Rotbraun – for example, on the well-known Panzer IV, Panther tanks, or StuG III assault guns.

The paint formula ensures excellent adhesion to plastic, metal, and resin. It is especially recommended for modelers building in 1/35, 1/48, or 1/72 scales who aim for historically accurate representations of German military vehicles from the 1943-1945 period (World War II). Thanks to optimal viscosity and pigmentation, you achieve even and realistic surface coverage.

Recommendations: The product is recommended for both beginner and advanced modelers (difficulty level 1/5). It is ideal for anyone valuing faithful historical accuracy, ease of application, and safety for plastic models. An excellent choice for any modeling workshop interested in historical Wehrmacht equipment.
