The recent
Megablitz game revealed (as did it's predecessor...) something of a shortage of ground crew toys. Although seemingly irrelevant, when it is considered that many games cover areas of 200+ km in depth it will readily be appreciated that much of the air support available is actually based on table! I have already completed a few stands using the Airfix RAF/Luftwaffe/USAAF Personnel sets but more vehicles were needed. I started this batch before the
A Battle Lost? game but ran out of time to finish them. I'll post more photos of the individual toys later.

I just love the tractor and bomb trolley - from the Airfix Stirling bomber kit. Mine met with disaster when it got left in the sun and badly warped as a result. Even the bombs twisted and ended up looking like black bananas. All I have left is the driver.
Great collection!
LOL - as usual completely mad - and lots of fun! :)

Happily I was spared the need to build a Stirling as I was given (most of) the parts for the tractor and bomb trolleys a few years ago.

Mad? How dare you sir! I'm as sane as er, you. Oh, see what you mean....
Hats off for The Boys In Blue!
About time too Tim :O)
Regards, Chris.
Great stuff- have you seen that Airfix has released a set of the tractors and similar items by themselves... no need to get the large Sterling that way.
Cheers,
Pete.
Some great work here Tim. I did not know about the tractor and bomb trolley Airfix combo.

Is that the boys in blues or les hommes en bleu?

The new 'Bomber Resupply Set?' I have one on order....

You've clearly not spent enough time studying old Airfix catalogues!
