Plasticville Citizens

[Maya]

I got this citizen's kit of HO scale figures with the paint, the brush but no painting fluid. I bought this kit used on E-Bay and it seems to date back to the 70's. I conclude the painting fluid has evaporated a long time ago. What is this painting fluid and where can I find some

Dear Bob,
The fluid is no longer available as it was a chemical that is now considered dangerous. I'd 86 the paint and use acrylics.
There's a nice article on figure painting in the current issue of Model Railroader.
Have fun!
