This is my entry for the Ostfront GB. It is the 1/72 Hobbyboss MiG-3. I added an interior and details to make it into a late build two cannon version.

Well done! So what are your final thoughts on Akan paints? I've got an order to them ready to send out in a couple weeks.

I really liked the Alkan paints, coverage was good, no "dry airbrush tip" problems. I used laquer thinners which worked fine. Contrary to most other users I found I had to thin them quite much. Only thing is I think they are a bit dark for 1/72. The blue looks good on the 1/48 MiG but to dark for this 1/72 MiG. So next time I will add some white.
