This book shows the original German camouflage of vehicles usedby the
Deutsche Afrika Korps, with color variants throughout the war.We look at
German Army vehicle colours for the African campaign,including the
European Dark Gray (RAL 7021) in which they arrivedto Libya. This
continues through to the initial camouflage colours, Yellow-Brown RAL
8000 with Green-Gray spots RAL 7008 (in 1941), andthe new Yellow-Brown
RAL 8020 and Sand Gray RAL 7027, used from1942. We also include a
selection of Italian vehicles, often forgotten,which fought alongside
the Germans against the Allies from 1941 to1943. This is supplemented by
the addition of allied vehicles servingwith the Axis troops, with some
curious American halftracks on a doublepage spread, with distinctive
German markings, from 1943. Over170 profiles cover schemes from the most
common camouflage to themost original and unusual vehicles used by the
DAK and Regio Esercito,including major artillery pieces used in Africa,
highlighting aboveall the powerful 88 mm Flak 18/36/37. Through the 108
pages of thisbook, you will fi nd inspiration for your next African
modelling project;projects that you can enhance further with the AK 550
