As I stated in the review above, it paints fine without washing or treating and does not come off when flexed. Didnt even use a proper undercoat.

It is not a polythene plastic like toy Soldiers of 60s to now. I dont know anything about an ‘EU plastic’ I’m afraid – is this a Brexit thing? Like bendy bananas? 😉

Only change I vaguely remember Airfix made in the 70s/80s was to a less brittle plastic that did not degrade over time and the softer plastic was far cheaper to use and easier on steel moulds increasing their lifetime of use. My Toy Soldiers from the 1970s to the 1980s all seemed equally bendy and crap at taking paint to be honest!

So for fear of sounding like a stuck record – these are not toy soldier plastic figures. 🙂
