Vallejo Model Color German Yellow (70806) is a muted mustard-yellow acrylic paint designed for historical camouflage, military modeling and subtle weathering techniques. With its warm, olive-tinted undertone and matte finish, it perfectly fits WWII-era vehicles, uniforms and gear.
Based on RLM 5, this tone was originally used in early Luftwaffe camouflage schemes but is also well-suited for field equipment, jackets, helmets and dusty terrain effects. The soft, green-yellow shade gives your models a weathered, authentic appearance full of depth and character.
The paint comes in an 18ml transparent bottle with a dropper tip for precise application and to prevent waste or drying out. If the nozzle clogs, simply clear it with a needle or toothpick.
German Yellow offers excellent coverage, dries to a matte finish and applies smoothly with a brush. It leaves no visible strokes and is ideal for painting in multiple thin layers. The paint works great for techniques such as drybrushing, layering and glazing.
Professional painters often thin the paint with water or matte medium to build controlled highlights and shadows, especially useful for realistic vehicles, accessories and diorama bases. Its subdued tone makes it a great match for scale work in 1:35 or 1:72 formats.
Mistakes during painting can be corrected easily while the paint is still wet using a bit of water or alcohol, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced hobbyists.
Vallejo Model Color German Yellow pairs perfectly with Camouflage Olive Green, Brown Violet or Dark Yellow for cohesive and realistic camouflage schemes. It works as a highlight, a dusty filter layer or even a base tone for terrain elements and gear.
This understated yet natural yellow tone adds the right touch of realism and nuance to any military or historical model. Add German Yellow to your palette and bring subtle authenticity to your miniature projects.
