Application and Historical Accuracy

Chocolate Brown (RAL8017) is one of the typical colors used in the painting of military vehicles, especially German ones during World War II. It was used as per official Wehrmacht directives from 1943, including on Panzer IV, Panther, Tiger I and II tanks, self-propelled guns, and transport vehicles. The RAL8017 shade is often combined with RAL6003 green and RAL7028 dark yellow, enabling the recreation of the three-tone camouflage patterns known from the Western and Eastern European fronts.

The paint is also suitable for recreating Cold War-era armored vehicles and for models of equipment used by NATO countries, where brown was one of the primary camouflage colors.
