The AK Interactive RCS127 set allows for the accurate depiction of several key paint schemes of authentic British vehicles, such as the Crusader, Matilda, Valentine or Churchill, using official colours: the Caunter scheme (applied from July 1940 to October 1941), solid Light Stone No.61 or Portland Stone No.64, and the famous camouflage shades of Desert Pink ZI and Dark Olive Green PFI, which were in force from October 1942 to spring 1943. During this period, British units fought the Afrika Korps of Rommel in pivotal battles such as El Alamein, making these colours essential for every enthusiast of World War II subjects.

I rate the application difficulty at 2/5 – they require only basic modelling knowledge and experience with lacquers.
