Martin (DesertFox) has done an excellent job on this painting reference article for German armor colors. I would like to apologize to him also for this taking as long as it did to get up on the site. You can read Martin's feature here:

WWII German AFV Colours Explained with Vallejo Equivalents

As usual if you have feedback or comments about this article please leave them here.

Thanks Martin!

Cheers,

Martin, congratulations for the fine article, I loved it.
But unffortunately I can´t find Vallejo here in Brazil, so if you could have included a Tamiya list too, it´ll be great...
But in overall was a great article to read, thanks

Martin

Great Article dude I like it and very usefull in the future

Congrats

Well done article. I always find it interesting to read different perspectives on any modelinb subject.
Love more content.

Lord Martinus,

this is an awesome article, thanks. Unfortunately I don't get Vallejo here, so as Armoursprue had asked, some tamiya guide or Gunze guide will be fantastic...

Just a thought, nevertheless, GREAT GREAT article!!!! Thanks.

Jim,
Thanks for posting the article even though you have been very busy..

Gents,
I will post an update version to this with All Tamiya, gunze etc equivalents if required and the general consensus is the same, as this involves an enormous amount of work.
Glad you enjoyed the read. By the way I had to get Vallejo to approve the colour equivalencies....getting Tamiya to do the same may take some time.

Excellent article I will definately be putting this information to good use... thanks!

I have a serious question. If Tom Jentz and Hilary Doyle say there was only one color of gray, dunkelgrau 7021, ever used as a base coat for German Panzers; where did you get your information that there were two?

very interesting article.. I don't use valjario colors or Humbol but its information nice to know if I do decied to give them a try in the future.. thanks..

Well Paul.. Like I said, this is the culmination of my research. If you re-read the article you will see that iI make no apologies for the information. I, in fact researched many places, one of which was your own little haunt at ML.
Dunkelgrau (or Schwartzgrau) RAL 7021, was used from 1939 onwards, As I note in the article I said that RAL 7016 (Anthrazitgrau) was used 1935 to 1939.
OK?
Any other questions regarding this Paul I will happily answer....PM me if required so as not to confuse this issue...if you get the drift
:-)

Great article. Thanks for taking the time to share your research, it is appreciated.

Martin,
Your work is much appreciated. I like the concise format. Even though I've never tried Vallejo paints I know I can adapt them to other brand equivalents. At least now I can be sure of which colors were used when and where. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words chaps......

I am still researching the next article;
WWII SS Camouflage colours with Vallejo equivalents.

I need to finish the figures and get one or two things arranged then it will be time to publish.
I know there are some of you waiting for this...all I can say is hold tight...won't be too much longer...(I hope)....

Excellent article. Very useful.
