Germany’s earliest panzers didn’t wear the greys and dunkelgelbs you know from later in the war they wore this. AK Interactive’s German Army Pre-WWII Colors set covers the tricolour camouflage scheme worn by German armour from April 1933 through to July 1937, a scheme that lingered on plenty of kit well beyond that date and saw action with the Condor Legion in the Spanish Civil War, Panzer I included. If you’re building the earliest days of German armoured warfare, this is the palette that gets it right without hours spent mixing and guessing.

What’s in the box

• Three AK 3rd Generation acrylic colours, matched to the 193337 tricolour scheme
• 17ml dropper bottles
• Matt, self-levelling acrylic formula with strong coverage
• Thins with water or AK’s own acrylic thinner for brush or airbrush use

Best for

• Pre-war and early-war German army vehicles
• Spanish Civil War armour, including the Panzer I
• Anyone modelling the transition period before the more familiar grey/dunkelgelb schemes took over

It’s a niche corner of the AK range, but if this is the era you model, it’s the difference between guessing at a colour match and knowing you’ve got it right straight from the bottle.
