Paint Set Army Painter The Historical - World War II German Paint Set (model 2027032)

Army Painter The Historical - World War II German Paint Set provides a curated selection of acrylic hobby paints matched to common World War II German colours. The set groups tones for uniforms, vehicle finishes, and equipment so modellers and wargamers can achieve historically consistent colour schemes without extensive individual colour research. It is suitable for hobby painting of infantry figures, armoured vehicles and diorama details where period-appropriate hues are required.

Advantages

This paint set collects complementary shades chosen for the German WWII palette to simplify colour matching across figures and vehicles. The acrylic formula offers good coverage, compatibility with common modelling primers and ease of thinning for washes or airbrushing. Packaged together, the set reduces time spent selecting individual paints and helps maintain consistent colour balance across a project.

Suitable for

• Painting 28–32 mm and other scale infantry figures representing WWII German forces
• Detailing and finishing scale models of German tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery
• Creating historically themed dioramas and wargaming armies

Key specifications

• Type: water-based acrylic hobby paints
• Application: brush, airbrush (when thinned), washes and layering
• Colour group: period-appropriate German uniform, vehicle and equipment tones
• Compatibility: suitable for use over standard modelling primers and under varnishes
• Finish: typically matte to satin depending on shade and thinning

How to use

Shake each bottle well before use to ensure pigment suspension. Apply paint onto primed miniature or model surfaces; thin with water or a manufacturer-recommended thinner for airbrushing or smoother layering. Use multiple thin coats rather than a single heavy coat to maintain surface detail. Allow adequate drying time between layers and apply washes or highlights after base colours have dried to enhance depth and realism.

Usage recommendations

Test paints on a spare plastic or resin scrap before applying to final models. For historically accurate results, reference period photos or colour guides and dry-fit multiple shades on a small test figure or panel to confirm desired tones under your workshop lighting.
