Historical Use of Afrika Braun RAL 840R – 8020

The Afrika Braun color was officially adopted for German armored and motorized forces operating in North Africa during World War II (c. 1941–1943). It was used on Panzer III, Panzer IV, Sd.Kfz. 251 tanks, as well as transport vehicles and support equipment serving in the Deutsches Afrikakorps. The distinctive, matte brown shade provided excellent camouflage in the deserts of Libya and Egypt, allowing for highly accurate recreations of historical diorama scenes and collector's models.
