Italian WWII Regio Esercito Camo Colors (8)

The set contains 8 references from the Model Air series in 17 ml format. Suitable for painting combat vehicles, trucks or artillery, as well as the camouflage schemes in operation during WWII by the Regio Esercito. The Italian Army did not have exact color charts, we know some shades and their names from written archives, the names of some defined references and with somewhat vague descriptions and isolated records in military museums, in quite rigorous restorations. Since the 1930s we can already find disturbing camouflage schemes used in many Ansaldo designs on the dark green shade as a base, or on the light green shade used as a base since the 1940s, with patches of reddish sand or terracotta applied on top. The combinations evolved into very elaborate patterns with up to four different shades, amoeba-like schemes, or disruptive sinuous shapes like shingles. We have relied on some well-preserved color photographs and expert restoration of the vehicles on display at the Saumur Museum to define the nuances of the most familiar hues.
