RadMax8 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Hey all, I’m currently looking for a good source for WWII VVS colors, and I’ve come across two brands that seem to have all the colors I’d need. Hataka and AK Interactive both have sets for both early and late colors in acrylic. Given that they represent a reasonable investment, I’d be interested in hearing anyone’s opinion and experience with these paints. Thanks in advance for any input!

roginoz Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Can't speak for VVS colours, but for contemporary Russian colours, I went for AK Interactive on my Su-27. Would have liked to have tried Hataka if it could have been decanted from the bottle without needing the pressure of the bench vice........ God knows how much thinner it would have needed. A bloody expensive 4-bottle set, straight into the bin ! Not happy, Jan ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Are you only considering hot acrylics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they dried out or something before they got to you? 3 hours ago, Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies said: Are you only considering hot acrylics? I suppose I’m open to anything, but given that I’m across the pond it seems that my options are a bit limited. Do you have suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 HB Hobbies still has some VVS stock of mine, but AKAN is probably also worth a look if you like water based acrylic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basuroy Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I recently got myself a single bottle of hataka acrylic blue line tan colour. It is advertised as suitable for brush painting but thins beautifully with IPA and sprays like charm . It was an experience good enough to warrant another order for 3 more bottles . I also have AK interactive acrylic paints - two different kind infact. One of them comes in a vallejo acrylic kinda bottle and works similarly. Another in a glass bottle and that paint is an abomination . The ONLY paint in my entire stable that I simply could not thin with anything - prolly added something to push their own brand thinner. Hataka costs almost half and I will personally suggest that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
