Greg W Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 How's the availability stateside now? I have seen a couple of online retailers taking preorders but there was no indication of when they are going to be able to fulfill them. Anyone got the lowdown?

Paul2660 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Can you ahead more light on this? Are they the lacquer based or acrylic ? And are they now more airbrush ready? I have not seen anything on this so far but use the original real color acrylic lacquer quite a bit. I saw where MiG released the Atom line up and purchased a few to try.

Paul Same paint formula, new packaging. Instead of jars they are in dropper bottles like Vallejo or Hataka. They renumbered everything and dropped about half the existing product line while adding some automotive and motorcycle colors.

Paul2660 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Greg, thanks for the link. Hopefully these will hit the states soon. I wonder if the older series have been discontinued? It was mentioned that they dropped 1/2 of the product line, I wonder how many of the WWII German Luftwaffe colors were dropped? I have used all of them in that series and besides RLM 66, (which IMO is not the correct color based on everything else I have seen, it's too green), they have been great to use. Update, after looking at the AK website, it looks like they are already out of most of the original paints (glass jars). Only one page comes up when you select WWII aircraft. That not a good thing, so time to stock up on them. Paul Edited April 24 by Paul2660 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
