CATCplSlade Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Good review and thanks for the paint comparisons, but I suspect we all knew things would miss more than match anyway. I am too invested in other paints at the moment to switch over, but likely would as I run out of particularly colors. I do have to say the AK paints for the RAF match my memory of what I painted my Spitfires as a kid. I know they were Testors enamels in the little bottles at the very least.

Thunnus Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the review, Kevin! I've picked up a few of these paints to test myself and I find their physical properties as acrylics similar to the paints I normally use much to my liking. The actual shades of the colors are something of a mixed bag. Some I like... others not so much. Very interesting to see them produce RLM 83 as a blue. Although it may be technically correct, it's bound to cause some confusion for Luftwaffe modelers. Will it be a matter of time before we someone paint a Bf109 in blue?

DonH Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Wow, that is a very interesting review, thanks Kev. It is fascinating how different manufacturers interpret various colours. You have reinforced my recent conclusion that I will stick with the paints I know and can use rather than chase the holy grail of accuracy in colour. That, I feel, is a waste of time for me, at least. If I can't get seams to disappear, why worry if my shade of dark green is accurate!!!
