Tomek22 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Did Airfix made their 1:32 SAS ever in 1:76? There are some rumours about this...I don`t think so, but what do you mean?Does somebody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmcabecadas Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 There are just rumours, Airfix confirmed that no 1/76 mould was ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomek22 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hi,thank you for letting me know! I mean the SAS 1:32 from Airfix (from the 1980`s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoscaleGeek Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The figures design from 1/32 scale is already there.If the number of poses is an obstacle (bad criticisms from Plasticsoldierreview perhaps) Airfix could perhaps choose for combining it with "Modern British Infantry" which has never been downscaled either. I don't know in how far uniforms or weapons may have become obsolete after 40 years but one could always call it "cold war" instead of "modern".

Tomek22 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 @ HoscaleGeekI agree 100%. The figures could be called "cold war" and it would be great if Airfix would offer them in 1:76 or 1:72.Also the old "Bundeswehr" set from the 80`s.

jopres57 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I remember during the eighties there were 1/32 sets of contemporary British, German, and Soviet Infantry, as well as the SAS. The infantry are all dated now, but It would be good to see them back again as 'Cold War' sets, as mentioned by Tomek22. The Cold War was an important part of history and I think is still waiting for the recognition it deserves. It seems like most of the worlds special forces and security teams have based their uniforms on the eighties SAS so there should be a lot of mileage left in that particular set, perhaps with a few tweaks. New sets in 1/72 would be particularly welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomek22 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 calling them "cold war" was the idea from HoscaleGeek, but the idea is good and I like it 😉I have never seen a set of "modern" soviet infantry in 1:32. Only the H0/00 "modern soviet infantry" figuresModern sets I know are "Modern British Infantry", "Modern Bundeswehr" and "SAS" in 1:32. Please let me know if there is such a set.

jopres57 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 The 1/32 Soviets were actually released as'Modern Russians' in 1983, apparantly they weren't available for long. When having a check on Google it also seems that in 1982 Airfix released the set of Modern Russians in 1/76 scale, that's certainly news to me.
