AK Interactive AK11835 RLM 81 VERSION 1 – AIR 17ml

AK Interactive AK11835 RLM 81 VERSION 1 – AIR 17ml is a third generation acrylic model paint manufactured by the renowned AK Interactive company, which specializes in materials for modelers worldwide. The product is dedicated to precisely replicating historical colors used in military aviation, according to RLM standards—the colors of the German Luftwaffe during World War II.

The RLM 81 Version 1 color recreates the dark green shade known as Braunviolett (brown-violet), which was widely used for camouflage on German fighter and bomber aircraft between 1944 and 1945. This color was one of the key elements of late-war Luftwaffe paint schemes, applied to aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109G/K, Focke-Wulf Fw 190D, as well as bombers like the Heinkel He 111 and Junkers Ju 88. Using this paint reproduces the authenticity of the World War II period, especially in scales 1/48, 1/32, and 1/72.
