We’ve put our heads together and sorted out the colours that we use to paint our Italian models, saving you the time looking through paint codes and giving you more time actually putting paint to model. Fantastic chaps that we are we’ve also knocked a little bit off the total price.
As you can see from the models painted by Jose Bustamante here, the Italians can be painted in a variety of ways and these paints sets will allow you to stuck in without the hassle of researching what’s what.
