Blanco Webbing Cleaner
Blanco Webbing Cleaner
After many years in development we are pleased to welcome this much needed Blanco to our range.
Each colour has been painstakingly match to an example of an original period colour.
We currently offer the main 3 colours used during WWII.
No.97 (Pea Green) Used in the interwar period and right through to the 1950s, Often called Early War Pea Green this is ideal for any BEF or Later impression.
No. 103 (Light Green) Used in the interwar period and right through to the 1950s, Often called Mid War Light Green this is ideal for any WWII impression. 6th Airborne used 103 right up to June 1944 when it changed over to No.3 for D-Day.
KG.3 (Khaki Green) Used mainly from 1944 onwards in NWE and later Far East.
Our Blanco is in powder form (This was one of the ways it was issued in WWII and is far easier to get a consistant covering than the blocks) and one 200g bag is roughly the same as 2x Blocks,
If used correctly this will cover a full set of Battle Order Webbing, plus spare Belt & Anklets.
If wanting to do a Large Pack too we recommend ordering 2 boxes.
