dylan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 so, I find myself in possession of the new Hobbyboss Su-27B flanker kit. and i am now wondering if anyone knows if there are colours in either vallejo or tamiya that will match the 3 blue/greys that are on the flanker. close enough will do, as I usually lighten or darken them for pre and post shading. thanks Dylan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I couldn't find any and didn't feel like mixing so I went with Mig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Any reasons why you are not considering Akan Su-27 paint set? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just from my experience, the MIG set is half the price of AKAN and in stock right away, compared to the 4-6 week shipping time I would have to endure for AKAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 absolutely right Drake122. I would love to give the akan paints a try. even the mig stuff seems unavailable to my lhs. thats why I was hoping for a close match from Vallejo. thanks for the replies everyone.

And the fact that the bottles hold far less paint than other brands Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I order AKAN paints from Linden Hill Imports in the states and only have to endure 3-4 days shipping time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
