Akan Paint Set 2 for Coastal Craft Coastal Craft As with the earlier RN Paint set 1, this set has been released to accompany the new book on the Fairmile D boats, reviewed HERE. Naturally this set is to be used in conjunction with Set 1.

With the release of this set, combined with the earlier one, modellers now have a paint range that covers the majority of camouflage schemes used by the Royal Navy throughout WWII. Very highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
