Ground crew crisis!

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!

    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.

    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.

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