Ral 7028 - Vallejo Model Air Alternative

Vallejo still hasn’t released a new Ral 7028 series of paint. They will not even comment or give any commitment as to whether or not they’ll release a new set of these colors. Vallejo’s current Ral 7028 versions (Air and Color) are Dunkelgelb Nach Muster not Ral 7028.

After much experimentation, I discovered a real good match to Ral 7028 using Vallejo’s Model Air 71.245 Loam Beige. I lighten it with 10% Vallejo Model Air 71.075 Ivory for 1/48 military tanks and 20% for 1/72 tank subjects; 1/35, I’ll shoot straight. Makes a great base (not too dark as other paint) for your weathering. I also lighten Vallejo Model Air Ral 6003 and 8017 with 71.075 Ivory (I don’t like to use white because of its “washed out” appearance.).

I hope that you’ll find this helpful…71.245 Loam Beige is a real nice Ral 7028 substitute on our German scale military models.

I don’t care for Vallejo Air paints,I am currently using AK-Real Colors, I thin them with Lacquer thinner and they spray beautifully,they also break down RAL 7028 to account for the different shades during the war,they are close enough for me especially when taking in field variations and weathering.
