French company called 'decalhelmet' he also does excellent decals.

They are out of stock of all paint

Thanks gents , was indeed looking at that company for the requisit decals , didn't realise they did paint too , and a shame they've run out !

Apparently they are doing some site maintenance, and everything shows "sold out" because of that, only the decal section is up and running.
Apfel was avalable a few days ago before they started with the maintenance

Pz Grenadier Hoffman , thank you , I'll try them

[Halle]

I tried them , and the colours are wonderful , but .....they don't send the sprays abroad ! They will however send the pots , so , how do you apply this evenly without it looking like a home Bodge job

Thanks , Halle .

A compressor and a spray gun.

[ShaneH]

I take it they have paints in stock

[Halle]

Hello ShaneH ,
It looks like they have , yes . GraemeMac , thank you , yes , perhaps a modellers air brush ?

Thanks for the help guys , it's appreciated

[ShaneH]

Thats great thanks

[Halle]

ShaneH ,
A thousand apologys , they do seem to be out of paint

I've messages them about it , I'll post something when I hear back , again , apologys !

Regards , Steve .

An air brush would work, but a spray gun designed for doing car bodywork, etc would be far quicker and ensure an even coat easier.

Fortunately I know someone who sprays cars amongst other things , thank you

Halle describes Apfelgrün (light field grey) as being correct for all pre-war equipment. Is this correct? I was under the impression that the pre-war M31 Kochgeschirr was commonly more of an olive green, and the Gasmaske Tragebüchse was commonly fieldgrau (pea green)?

I am looking for some help and clarification for I am wanting to refinish my messkit and gas mask can to the most common pre-war appearances. Mixed colors, one color it does not matter. Just what is most common amongst the items individually.
