Humbrol DB0160 No 160 German Camouflage Red - Matt - 14ml

Humbrol DB0160 No 160 German Camouflage Red is a high-quality, matt acrylic paint in an innovative 14ml dropper bottle, created for modelers seeking an authentic shade of German camouflage red. This color references the famous red oxide anti-corrosion primer (so-called Red Oxide Primer used by German forces during World War II), especially during the production of armored vehicles from 1943 onwards. It was used, among others, on Panzer IV, Panther, and Tiger II tanks, serving as the base for the popular German camouflage finishes used on the fronts of Europe and Africa.

The exceptionally fast-drying water-based Humbrol formula makes DB0160 No 160 perfect for painting plastic scale models such as 1/35 or 1/72, but its versatility also allows it to be used on wood, cardboard, metal, glass, or ceramic surfaces. The manufacturer particularly recommends application with the modern Humbrol AG5111 palette, enabling precise color mixing. Best results are achieved by applying two thin coats instead of one thick one, which ensures a durable, well-covering finish with an authentic historical appearance.
