Wednesday, January 27, 2016 - 03:18 PM UTC

Meng Model announced their partnership with AK Interactive a week ago and the first product born from the cooperation is ready to hit the market. Read on for Meng's press release.

MENG and AK-INTERACTIVE are happy to present you the first fruits of the new cooperation between two of the major companies in the modelling industry.

MENG proudly announces that our first bottles of waterbased acrylic environmental paint will be released soon. The paint includes basic colors, military colors and metal colors to meet different needs of modelers.

We will also release a set of MC-801 desert camouflage paint directed to modern US armoured vehicles in desert conditions. The set of paint has 6 colors to meet color needs of modelers when building related MENG kits.

We hereby want to give our special thanks to AK-INTERACTIVE for designing and producing the paint based on specific and strict requirements of MENG. MENG and AK-INTERACTIVE will continue to work together closely and release more special and environmental paints for modelers worldwide.

Or it will be another reason to raise the price. It seems when Meng puts its name on something, the price goes up. I used to read AFV Modeller magazine, as soon as it became Meng AFV Modeller, the price went up.

I think many of us are getting much too anal about the "exact" colour of AFV's and such. How many of your modeling buddies look at your newly finished build and say.."hey man, that colour is WAY off..."! And SgtRam is dead on about the price hikes...

There is no such thing as 'the right shade'. My motorpool on any given day has multiple shades of CARC Sand. Some bleached near white..some almost looking mystard....any several in between.

I bet it is just rebranding of existing products.

With meng prices they should just include this in the kit....

Which is why I said a shade difference would be nice.... Which matches what we can see in photos. There is no "right" exact shade of any colour

My bet is, they will "research" the colors, change them slightly, add some drops of pretext scale effect compensation, and then "we will have to buy them too". Of course the increased price others mention comes on top of that, it's needed to be the coolest modeller and to pay for the "development costs". Nacho

sgtsauer is dead on! My four Bradleys in 1987 were all overall dark green but each was faded quite differently. NATO three tone camo on our later M2A2s faded in many different ways....we definitely need stop being hung up on color. On another note....I had Meng AFV Modeller in my hand last week but refused to buy it for 15.99. I bought to other model mags instead. I might pay $7-8 for it but not double.
