ATOM acrylic colors set for brush and airbrush in 20 ml bottles – 4 colors 

This set is specifically designed to provide you with the essential colors for painting German Bundeswehr vehicles in desert and arid camouflage schemes. 

This set includes four high-quality acrylic paints specially designed for painting the camouflage patterns used by German Bundeswehr vehicles deployed in Afghanistan. 

In 2003, German forces joined the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), marking the beginning of large-scale overseas operations for the first time since WWII. Recognizing the inadequacy of standard NATO camouflage in the region’s arid landscapes, the Bundeswehr developed a specialized range of Umtarnfarben colors—temporary coatings designed for adaptability in desert and steppe environments. 

These non-permanent paints were applied to a variety of German military vehicles stationed in Afghanistan, including the ATF Dingo, Fuchs (TPz 1), Marder 1A5, Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000), Wolf SSA, Unimog U5000, MAN SX & HX trucks, Leopard 2A6M, and Boxer MRAV, among others. Beyond their operational use, the striking appearance of the Umtarnfarben schemes contributed to their widespread use on prototype and display vehicles showcased at arms fairs. This set makes it easy to choose the correct colors for your models, helping you quickly and easily achieve the best results.
