DAK Uniforms Quick Gen Contrast Set (3 Paints) - AK Interactive

The Afrika Korps palette, and the trick with DAK figures is that the tropical uniform bleached badly in the field. Dark Green gives you the issued colour on fresh kit, Desert Sand gives you the faded end of the same garment, and Leather covers boots and equipment.

Quick Gen is AK's one-coat contrast range: heavily pigmented acrylic that flows into recesses and thins over raised detail on its own, so a single pass leaves shade, midtone and highlight roughly where they belong. It is built for getting a unit table-ready fast rather than for display-cabinet blending.

Works best over a light primer — white or bone — because the effect depends on light coming back through the paint film. Shake well, apply generously with a soft brush, and let it pool where it wants to; brushing it back out defeats the point.
