Lifecolor UA501 Luftwaffe Schwarzgrun RLM 70 22ml is a professional, high-quality acrylic modeling paint designed for precise reproduction of the Schwarzgrun (black-green) color according to the Luftwaffe RLM 70 color standard. This shade was used by the German military aviation during World War II, especially on the upper surfaces of fighter, bomber, and reconnaissance aircraft. The meta-history of this pigment dates back to the 1930s, when the German Luftwaffe introduced standardized camouflage colors, increasing the effectiveness of aircraft concealment under various operational conditions on the European front.

The offered Lifecolor UA501 acrylic paint was developed to replicate the original shade used on such legendary aircraft as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Heinkel He 111, and Junkers Ju 87 Stuka. The Schwarzgrun RLM 70 color most often served as a component of upper camouflage paint schemes in combination with RLM 71 Dunkelgrun, and in the later years of the war, with greys RLM 74 or RLM 75, making it ideal for authentic dioramas and scale models in 1/24, 1/32, 1/48, 1/72, and other scales.
