German Infantry - WW II |
TWO
KITS IN ONE. HALF OF THE POSES ARE 1/76TH AND HALF ARE
1/72ND . THE SMALLER ARE NICE OPPONENTS FOR WWII BRITISH
INFANTRY. FIGURES INTENDED FOR 1941 - 1942 PERIOD. GOOD
FIGURES, ESPECIALLY THE 1/72ND |

Civilians |

British 8th Army - WW II |
NICE
POSES. SAPPER, HEAVY MG'S AND ADVANCING WITH BAYONETS
INCLUDED. SOME UNUSUAL POSES, LIKE THE BREN GUNNER
CRAWLING WITH THE GUN PARALELL TO HIS BODY. |
| 11 |
Afrika Korps - WW II |
1/72ND.
ONE OF THE BEST KITS EVER MADE. MAYBE THE BEST FROM
AIRFIX. EXCELLENT DETAILED POSES. SUITABLE FOR MANY
CONVERSIONS, INCLUDING ITALY, NORMANDY, AND THE END OF
THE WAR. |
| 16 |
US Marines - WW II |
SAME
AS GERMANS. DETAILED KIT, BUT TWO SCALES. BOTH KITS SEEM
TO BE A COMBINATION OF 1/72ND REDUCTION FROM ITS 1/32ND
SERIES WITH SOME ADDITIONS ON 1/76TH SCALE. THE SMALLER
ARE REAL MARINES. THE BIGGER ARE MORE SUITABLE FOR US
RANGERS. NICE DETAIL. |
| 17 |
Russian Infantry - WW II |
1/76TH
SCALE. CAN'T BE COMPARED EITHER TO ESCI OR REVELL GERMANY
COUNTERPARTS. THE BEST POSES ARE THE MG AND HEAVY MORTAR
TEAMS. SOME FIGURES TEND TO 2D. ALWAYS FLASH PROBLEM. THE
MORTAR IS OK, BUT THE MG IS HORRIBLE. WE STILL ASK TODAY
WHY DIDN'T AIRFIX REDUCE THE EXCELLENT 1/32ND KIT AND
SELL AS 1/72ND, BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE THE ONLY CAPABLE
FOR BARBAROSSA. |
| 18 |
Japanese Infantry - WW II |
1/76TH.
GOOD DETAIL. ONLY ONE POSE FROM THE SUPERB 1/32ND KIT.
REQUIRES A NICE PAINT JOB TO MAKE CONVINCING WARRIORS.
THE UNIFORM SEEMS TO BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR MANCHURIA OR
EARLY STAGES OF THE WAR. THE POSES ARE NOT VERY
AGGRESSIVE. |
| 23 |
British Paratroops - WW II |
1/72ND.
THE WORST KIT OF AIRFIX. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS TO BE A GREAT
SUCCESS, SINCE IT'S ONE OF THE FEW KIT THAT HAS BEEN
RE-RELEASED CONSTANTLY. THE FIGURES ARE WEARING TRAINING
UNIFORMS. MORTAR AND PARA'S CANISTER INCLUDED. MAYBE IT
IS POPULAR AMONG THE WARGAMERS, DUE TO ITS GENERIC POSES. |
| 26 |
German Infantry - WW I |

HAT. 1916 - 1918 |
| 29 |

| 31 |
British Royal Horse Artillery - WW I |
NICELY
DETAILED CREW POSES, LIMBER (1) AND GUNS (2). MANY

DIORAMA MAKERS.NICE SUBJECT. RE-RELEASED BY HAT. 1914 -
1915. |
| 32 |
British Commandos - WW II |
1/76TH
SCALE. LIKE MANY OTHER KITS, HAD TWO VERSIONS. THE FIRST
IS TOYLIKE AND IS THE VERY ONE THAT IS STILL BEING
REISSUED. THE SECOND VERSION IS ONE OF THE BEST 1/76TH
KITS EVER SEEN, REDUCED FROM 1/32ND RANGE, BUT LASTED
ONLY FOR SOME YEARS (HUMBROL DOESN'T HAVE THE MOULDS). |
| 47 |

UNUSUAL POSES. RE-RELEASED BY HAT. |
| 51 |
US Paratroops - WW II |
1/76TH.
NICE DETAIL. HOWEVER, THEY SEEM THAT WERE PLANNED ONLY TO
FIGHT AGAINST THE GERMAN PARATROOPS AT NORMANDY. NICE
POSES, SOME CAN BE CONVERTED INTO GUN SERVANT. CLOSE
COMBAT POSES. |
| 52 |
German Mountain Troops - WW II |
VERY
CREATIVE TROOPS. IN SPITE OF MANY ARE NOT IN COMBAT
SITUATION. INCLUDED SKI TROOPS, SKIS, DONKEYS, PEOPLE
CLIMBING THE MOUNTAINS. |
| 53 |
German Paratroops - WW II |
THE
BEST GERMAN PARATROOPS KIT, ALTHOUGH IT'S ALSO 1/76TH.
CORRECT EQUIPMENT, POSES AND WEAPONS, EXCEPT FOR THE POSE
WEARING THE RIFLE AS A CLUB. THIS WAS NEVER USED, AS
STATED BY A VETERAN. NICE OPPONENT FOR US PARAS OR
AGAINST THE BRITISH INFANTRY IN ITALY. |

| 57 |
Italian Infantry - WW II |
ONE
OF THE TOP TEN WW II KITS. ALTHOUGH THEY LOOK SMALL,
THEIR GUNS ARE 1/72ND. THE SCULPTOR REALLY CARED ABOUT
MAKING SMALLER ITALIANS. OUTSTANDING AND CRISP DETAILS.
UNFORTUNATELY ONLY 7 POSES, BUT A REAL NICE KIT.
RE-RELEASED BY HAT. |
| 58 |
