AK Interactive Real Colors - WWII Luftwaffe Tropical Set (RCS104)
Sand, sun and desert dust — the Mediterranean gave Luftwaffe aircraft a distinctive look, and this Real Colors set nails it. It brings together the three camouflage colours introduced around spring 1941 for German aircraft over the Med: RLM 78 and 79 for lower and upper surfaces, with RLM 80 for extra disruptive mottling. Some Eastern Front machines wore them too, factory-applied.
