WWI Vehicles & Russian Modern Vehicles Acrylic Paint Sets
Meng Models with AK Interactive

Meng have teamed up with AK Interactive to bring out an expanding series of paint sets that correspond with their new release schedule, to make getting the right colours simplicity itself. Each set comes in a card box with a flap on each end and a hanger for display on a wire carousel. Inside the paints sit on a clear plastic tray, with six per set in 17ml dropper bottles that have red caps to go with the Meng colour scheme. This type of bottle is time-consuming to mix using shaking alone, so I usually drop a 6mm glass BB into the top at outset, to help dispersion of the components.

WWI Vehicles Camouflage Colours Vol.2 (MC-805)

This set is the second of the series, and contains six colours as follows:

MC-211 Olive Drab, MC-212 British Khaki, MC-229 Khaki Green, MC-230 French Light Brown, MC-231 French Brown, MC-232 French Green.

This set isn't actually on their site at time of writing, but will appear here in due course.

Russian Modern Vehicles Camouflage Colours Vol.1 (MC-806)

Soon to be joined by a second Volume, this set contains the following six colours:

MC-016 Light Grey, MC-210 Black Grey, MC-217 Russian Green 1, MC-237 Red Brown, MC-253 Light Sand, MC-254 Dark Sand.

If you are familiar with AK Interactive paints, these sets will be familiar too, as they are made in the same factory due to their partnership, so their quality is guaranteed. The liquid is fairly fluid, and could be sprayed almost neat from the bottle, but make sure you stir them properly before application, and thin accordingly using either their own thinners or your thinners of choice.
