Favourite Airfix Figures

[Norman D. Landings]

However - the ICG are clearly based on the ‘Lilliput’ 1950’s Brit infantry figures, produced in 1/32 by Herald, Britain’s et al.
Therefore they’ve got a bit of heritage, and some retro appeal.
(‘A Call to Arms’ now does a full set of these figures in 1/72)

Often overlooked, though: the 1/32 British Infantry Support Group set.
Water-cooled bickers, 3” mortars and an ‘acquired’ Yank bazooka for yer squaddies, along with ammo carriers, spotters, and tons of gubbins.

Some of the sets done by John Braithwaite

I hadn't realised that - which sets did he do ?

[Vintage Wargaming]

Certainly WW1 Germans and WW1 British - there may have been others- WW1 French? - but I’d have to dig the book out and check

My genuine favourite was the Arab set with the camels. I loved that set, though never got some enemies for them to fight.
Hell I might buy one

Some of the best of the earlier offerings!

The Arab set had lovely cav... needed a couple more foot poses for variety.

They served in all sorts of capacities.

I never had the Tarzan set. Don't think I ever saw it in a shop. I've just had a browse of it. That on the right - its a zebra......

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Errrr....ok, if you say so.

I planned to recruit 4000 Zulus, the zebras make good donkeys, the hefalumps were ok, but I couldn't think of much use for hundreds of lions, giraffes and hippos.
