One of the new product ranges from AK Interactive released this year is the Figure Series. Designed to compliment their existing scale model lines and they're also fantastic for table-top gamers as well.
AK kindly supplied us with one of the Flesh & Skin Colours sets to try out, so lets take a more in-depth look at the set and how it performs.

Another huge shipment from AK Interactive arrived in the Hobbies Jungle this week and brought with it heaps of new Modelling Magazines & Books including the latest in the AK Learning Series.
Issue 2: Panzer Crew Uniforms has been written to compliment the newly released Panzer Crew Black Uniforms and Flesh & Skin Colours paint sets.
And judging from some of the included articles it appears very likely that a German Camouflage Uniforms paint set will also be on the way soon, which is great news!
Given that German tanks and armoured vehicles and their accompanying crews are some of the most prevalent scale modelling subjects, this guide will be of great use to a large number of modellers and will also be a fantastic resource for Flames of War players as well.
