The Story
The red-brown of German primers and warship hulls. Rot (Rotbraun) RAL 8013 was a primer colour used by the German Army in WWII, and the Kriegsmarine painted the underwater portions of ship hulls with it. If you build German armour or model the below-the-waterline sections of a Kriegsmarine vessel, this is the authentic oxide-red.
