Hi! Hobby Paint N' Stuff's renewed web-shop was launched yesterday! There's still lots to do, but all basic functionalities are working and all products have been added. Important features: The new site is multilingual and currency is selectable Easier browsing with the clear menu system Now it's much faster to complete your purchase with the automated PayPal checkout, cumbersome invoicing is only a bad memory... VAT-free shopping for non-EU customers (based on shipping address) Numerous new AKAN paints, Metallic Details' and Miniarm's detailing sets have been added in the past few weeks.

Hi, Another box from AKAN just arrived and lots of paints are now back in stock. See the full range: http://goo.gl/AHJUDX

A shipment which was delayed for several months finally arrived earlier this week. Unfortunately there's still many paints out of stock due to this delay, but new order has already been sent to the factory.

Wow, thanks Rob! Seems like I should monitor this site more frequently...

Hello! Here they are, paints for Finnish Defence Forces. Since 1981 virtually every ground vehicle has been painted with these colours and now for the first time they are available for scale modellers! These are water-based acrylics, enamel and lacquer versions will be available in the future: AN11 Tumman vihreä (Dark Green) AKAN 77088 AN22 Vaalean vihreä (Light Green) AKAN 77089 AN33 Ruskea (Brown) AKAN 77090 AN44 Musta (Black) AKAN 77091 3-colour camouflage scheme with AN11, AN22 and AN44 is the most common scheme (see 2nd & 3rd picture below), but on some vehicles all four colours are used (as in 4th pic). Some pictures were taken from: http://www.puolustusvoimat.fi/

Most of the AKAN's Soviet/Russian range have been renamed and/or descriptions updated. It's now much easier to find suitable colour for your build. Here's one example of renaming: before: Grey (faded) after: Grey (faded), MiG-25/31, An-8/12/24/26, Tu-22m2/m3 and early MiG-21/23 There's also longer description for this item: Grey (faded), overall base coat or camouflage top and side surfaces, MiG-25, MiG-31, An-8, An-12, An-24, An-26, Tu-22m2, Tu-22m3 and early MiG-21, MiG-23

No, I mean that you know that enamel paint is "hard surfaced, usually glossy paint". It can be laquer-based and still be an enamel paint.

Are you sure? You know what you are talking about? On AKAN's wholesale buyer's list series 6 is headlined: "Acrylic SEMIGLOSS enamels, to be used with AKAN enamel thinner" and 8 series: "Acrylic-urethane enamel, special thinner based" Read the label:

OK, now I've got something in stock: Russian/USSR paints, thinner and varnishes.
