Historical information

The XF-93 Light Brown (DAK 1942) color was developed for modelers recreating the vehicles of the famous Afrika Korps – the German Wehrmacht unit operating in North Africa from 1941 to 1943 during World War II. In 1942, German vehicles were repainted from gray to a sand-brown color (RAL 8020), suited for desert conditions, to provide better camouflage in the Saharan wilderness. Using this authentic shade brings realism and historical accuracy to every model.
