Airfix Japanese infantry

Aside from the few khaki painted chaps which came from a Sheffield club bring and buy, most of these Jap chaps came from eBay earlier this year.  Apart from some repair work to flaky extremities, my work was confined to basing and varnishing.  Considering their age - this set was originally released in 1971 - they remain delightful figures and are immensely useful for conversions.

    A nice mix of weapons and poses. Are these for any particular project?

    Oddly enough, we were discussing the Airfix Commandos during last week’s game.

    I've still got both my Airfix Brutish Paras and Commando figures which we used to use for the old Paragon Skirmish rules back in the 1970s.

    “Brutish” paras? They sound proper villains....
