CONVERTING AIRFIX 1/32nd SOLDIERS


Recommended Posts

Hi,

anyone done some simple conversions with Airfix 1/32nd soldiers/figures?

Some of easiest jobs are doing a different paint scheme for different theatres eg: the British 8th Army set could be painted in jungle green for Burma. Also the German Paras set can be painted in light beige tropical uniform for service in North Africa and the Mediterranean areas.

There are other more challenging conversions animating the figures or changing the head dress or adding extra equipment parts maybe from the previously issued Airfix WW2 multi-pose series depending on your modelling skills.

The backpacks in particular can be added to a basic figure to give a more accurate depiction. If Airfix released accessories sets with backpacks, entrenching tools, extra weapory etc.. it would be ideal for adding to the basic figures.
