German Grey paint (243) alternatives


Recommended Posts

Hello, I’ve recently purchased the 1/35 Tiger-1 “Early Version” and I was going to paint the second scheme; of the SS Pazergrenadier-Division, Russia, Spring 1943.


The paint scheme requires the 243 German Grey for the outer body but I can’t find this paint anywhere. Does anyone know of any good alternatives?


Thanks for all the help it’s much appreciated.

I'm not sure which grey 243 is supposed to be a match for, so here's my references:


RAL 6006 Feldgrau Nr. 3 Wehrmacht Feldgrau used from 1935 – 1945 to paint ammunition and equipment. Vallejo Model Air 71015 Olive Grey RLM71 RAL6006 FS33070 or Hu: 108 Matt WWI Green discontinued


RAL 7009 Feldgrau Nr. 2 WWI Feldgrau that may have been used on some vehicles in WWII also. Vallejo Model Air 71020 German Green RAL7009 or Hu: 111 Matt Uniform Grey discontinued


RAL 7011 Eisengrau this colour was used for Tiger tanks manufactured by the Henschel factory when RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau Nr. 46 was not available during the summer of 1942. Hu: 79 Matt Blue Grey


RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau Nr. 46 Schwartzgrau – Panzergrau Vehicle base colour, 1937 two-colour pattern. Vehicle base colour 1940 - 1943, replaced the two-colour pattern. Vehicle base colour, Eastern Front 1942. Hu: 67 Matt Tank Grey or Vallejo Model Color 70862 168 Black Grey RAL7021
