Tommygun Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Since I have a Lafette 42 machine tripod restoration project in the offing I thought I'd ask those who use a lot of paint. Therefore, does anyone know where I can get sizeable quantities of German WW2 colours i.e. Red Oxide, Panzer Grey and Dunkelgelb. There was once a company called 'The Vintage Paint Company' which had stock colours and a match-up facility, however, they seem to have disappeared. Any ideas who may specialise in this sort of stuff? Cheers, Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they've got something big on.
