RLM 04 Gelb is the Luftwaffe's workhorse yellow — the shade that turns up on identification bands, cowlings, wingtips and rudder markings across the WWII German air fleet. If you're building anything with those distinctive theatre markings, this is the tone that gets it right.

Yellow is famously tricky to get solid — the 3rd Gen formula's high pigment load means you reach clean, opaque colour far faster than with older acrylics, by brush or through the airbrush.
The definitive Luftwaffe marking yellow. Works a treat alongside the greys and greens of the AK 3rd Gen range for a complete airframe scheme.
