2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY

Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.

So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.

We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.

Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Real spray paint

Post by Steve Norris »

Can anyone tell me if there is a supplier of RAL7028 Dunkelgelb DG 111 spray cans (440ml cans) or any any other size for that matter ?
I know Tamiya do TS3 but this is not the right shade for the scheme I want to do.
Regards
Steve

Hi Steve
I know exactly the place, try www.zib-militaria.de, they do 400ml cans of RAL 7028 and quite a choice of other paints.

Cheers

Hi Steve,

my source for all that WW2 paint is Militaerlacke.de

Here is the link : http://www.militaerlacke.de/lack/sprayd ... /index.php

They have pretty good stuff and fair prices :wink: 8)

The RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb which has been used later in the war is called RAL 7028-1944 at their shop ! Its much darker than the earlier version RAL 7028....

Hope that helps,

cheers from Cologne,

Uwe

Uwe and Bryan
Thanks for the quick reply, I will have a look at the available products and give them a try.
Just noticed the title has suffered from a auto correct event and should have read RAL not real, could have been worse I suppose.

You could try Epic Militaria - £7.95 for a 400ml can (http://www.epicmilitaria.com/army-spray ... ellow.html). Can't say if it will be the right shade though. I bought a couple of cans of olive green from them at a show last weekend and very pleased with the results.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting the Epic Militaria web-site on the Army Spray Paint-Drak Yellow (Dunkelgels)
I ordered up a couple of cans to see what it's like on my Panzer III.

Cheers
Ian from Glasgow

I have been using zibmilitaria paint. I think they have designed it for full size vehicles so a little darker than tamiya. You can see it on my panzer IV. It's a great base. I have used as a base recently on a Tiger 1 in conjunction with AK interactive pint modulation set recently and it works well. MUST ADD SOME PHOTOS.

I will have to order some soon. Problem is postage is same for small quantity as large. It would be a good idea if we could order a bulk supply before the show. I have used the dark grey on my 222 and beige on Tiger interior. Price is very good. About 8-9 euro.

John
