Who remembers the Airfix paints, in small glass bottles ?
Were those 'thick', or what ?

I remember the Airfix paints, but the ones I bought came in tins, slightly higher but narrower than the equivalent Humbrol paints.
Much smaller range than Humbrol (who seemed to do thousands of different tins), split into matt & gloss. I remember M3 was Olive Green, because you painted all your Shermans & Churchills in that colour.

My first (original) German infantry were painted in Airfix gloss green and Airfix gloss brown.
I think I still have some somewhere.

Well done for avoiding "for my brother and I"! A hanging offence if ever I saw one.
