Not quite sure where to post this because it's not a "public person", but I never knew AK paints did this level of abysmal fucking shit.

Apparently they did painting diorama guides and sets for Holocaust gas chambers and Rwandan genocide. Holy fucking shit.

These people should be shot. This is why I don't participate in real life tabletop war-sims.

Jesus fuck. I am sorry if some of you knew about this already but I know some of you are interested in model-painting/models so good primer on like...not buying from AK.

    Yeah this happened a few years ago and I don't buy any products from them because of it. There are museums with scale models of atrocities, but that's obviously to show their size and scope. Doing it just for funzies is a ginormous red flag and there's no reason you should advertise it in your catalog.

      Yeah I was looking at some paints myself and someone was really railing hard against AK so I took a look myself and dug up this which was entirely different and I was just like...holy shit...thinness of the paint is what you're worried about?

    Just use Vallejo, Armypainter, fuck even GW before you give your money to AK. There are more then enough alternatives on the market.

    Don't think this counts as "dunking" so it's fine to post wherever. /c/hobby is always an option but not as many people will probably see it lol. And yeah, fuck AK. While we're on the subject, fuck Scale75 for making this bust of Orc Hitler:

    That letter/statement there, is that what they think or what they're saying the Nazis thought? It's beyond vile.
