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

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.
