Does anyone know which line of hobby paint that William Britain Company uses to paint their soldiers? Please don't suggest a paint line to me. Please answer if you know the answer to my question. Thanks. |

As an ex-home worker who painted Britains figures in the 1970's, the paints supplied by Britains direct to their workers were unbranded. The cleaning fluid/paint thinners were cellulose based as you needed a well ventilated room to avoid getting high! |

I understand that before 1936, all the colors were ground and mixed at the factory from dry pigments. |

Thanks. I was thinking of a recent casting US Navy Pilot WW2. The flight suit looks like British Camouflage Beige (Hemp). |
