Keroburner89 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Hey all, I recently just bought myself some of these new paints from AK Interactive Real color paints. I'm really excited by the breadth of colours in their range. In particular, lots of Aggressor/Adversary colours as well as some Eastern bloc paints. The colour concentration looks really intense. What's the verdict on them? Has anyone used these as yet and have any insight? Photos of models are most welcome... Happy building all... Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ts18056 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I like them! Easy to spray when thinned about 1:1 with their own thinner, drying very fast and odour is not bad. Cleaning the airbrush is easy with IPA. And they take handling quite well, no lifting up with masking tape, even without a primer. Doing my first build with them, and they are much easier than Vallejo and Lifecolor, on a par with Tamiya and ModelMaster acrylics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Just bought a bunch of their paints. I like them so far. A few colors are questionable. For Adversary work, their 35450 and 35190 are excellent. Their 35109 is a bit too light and a touch purple. MM 35109 is a dead on perfect match to the FS color and is darker with more blue. I'd probably buy a dark blue Real Color bottle and add a few drops to rich and darken it up. Just my take. Picture also shows MRP 35190 and 35450. I like the Real Air color version better.

Keroburner89 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks for the input Brian, always appreciated from yourself. You're right, the 35109 is very light. It'll be good to see when a few of these hit people's builds.... look forward to seeing them out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

viper730 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yep just found out they changed the Formulation a lil while back to be pure Lacquer. No big deal I was confused because first they marketed it as an Acrylic Lacquer. Really the only thing I wanted was a few colors to supplement my Tamiya panit stash. Like a dozen or so specific modern USN/USAF colors. I took the 125 mile round trip ride today to the LHS as they just got in another batch of the colors and some of the AKI High Compatibility Thinner which I bought. Did a lil test and their stuff works well and I like the Paints. So Mission accomplished as They will make a nice compliment to go with Tamiya paints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
