Akan/Akah acrylic paints

Post by Paul »

Just bought myself a set of the mig29 colours for the GWH mig when it arrives.

They look great and are samples taken from actual faded aircraft.

Made in Russia I got them from Greece http://www.hobbycolours.com/

Will do a review when I've used them

only negative ive readv about them is they can be "delicate", easily scratched.. im sure a gloss or flat coat would fix that problem though

Cool! Do these guys specialise in 'Russian' colours? I've got a mig 21 waiting in the wings.

Yes that's one thing I have heard,but I'm usually pretty careful with paint work so hopefully will be ok. :thumb2:

Brilliant colours on the migs. Can't wait to get this mig 29 and get it started, looking forward to using these for the first time too. Ill do a video of spraying these, when I'm building the GWH Mig
