Mr. Weathering Color Paint - WWII Western Front Yakumo Color Set A

WESTERN FRONT

From a modeler’s perspective, Europe was the setting of many of the most interesting battles of the war, including Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, Hungary, the Warsaw Uprising and the fall of Berlin. On these fronts the Germans used several standardized camouflage patterns, but each was always based on green and brown camouflage colours over a dark yellow base (C039 dark yellow, C041 red-brown and C070 dark green). Dust in summer and dry mud were the most common effects seen in German vehicles. In addition to the two products used to represent these effects, the perfect wash tone is also included, and another for streaked dirt stains. For the most complete finish, combine with SET D-BASICS.

These Yakumo Colors—Mr. Weathering Color and Mr. Weathering Paste-based weathering colors—were supervised by the world-famous modeler, Mr. Mig Jimenez. The mud and dirt colors are made with pigments that have been collected from all over the world. WY01 is a weathering paint set for German vehicles in the WWII Western Front.
