SOPHIE WESTALL Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 These were good kits and it is the 200th anniversary of Waterloo this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Merryweather1707820195 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I can't believe these have gone out of production in the first place. I made SO many of them as a teenager , and they are fantastic for conversions. its clearly too late for the 200 th waterloo anniversary , but lets get campaigning for these to be brought back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Kullas Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Too late for the actual Waterloo campaign but not for the year.I strongly agree with this suggestion, as well as these, the other figures in the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_ward Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yes please. Some of my all-time favourite kits (at least as a teenager!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'd certainly buy multiple kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Gribbin1707820353 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yes please I built many! Are we also talking about the boxes of plastic figures? These were great and my brother and I had masses of these which we used to line up for mass scale Napoleonic battles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 No, just the big stuff.http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24350312/411313323.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctayfor Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I would efinitely go along with this. I also used several for conversions too (even to the extent of producing a Saxon raider confronted by a mounted Romano British cavalryman). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbolingb Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yes please. All of these. I think you would get multiple sales of each model as they were a great way to make larger scale dioramas for little money. I'd buy several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_thornhill Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It was a real pleasure to make these as a youngster , you felt that you had joined the grown-ups andthe chance to make them again would be great . I have always wanted to try making a diorama with conversionsto some of the kits . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARRY PARKER Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 any of these would be welcome but especially the Cuirassier or Lancer i'm fed up with e-bay prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Jones1707820337 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yes, Yes, YES!(although a piece of lead sheet instead of that plasticard would be a nice addition)(and ask Humbrol to do a can of tartan paint for the Highlander :lol:) Admin edit: Please don't swear (this includes "hiding" particular letters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Thompson Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I cannot see why these great figures cannot be re released. It is nothing cost wise to produce these compared to the R&D that goes into new aircraft or armour kits. Figure painters/modellers are a huge part of the hobby, why wold Airfix not support them?

Flakjumper Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Surely due for reissue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernard_pratt Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yes please. I still have the Airfix Magazine feature on converting a few Grenadier Guardsmen to make a Waterloo colour party, so I'm waiting with debit card poised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_arnold Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 These figures were excellent and I built a dozen or so including Washington. Yes it would be a great time to bring them back in 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braille Dave Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I doubt it is 'Nothing cost wise to produce these compared to the R&D that goes into new aircraft or armour kits'.....If anything the amount of research required will be way, way greater from a time where there is little or no formal information. Even the chemical compositions for the dyes used for the uniforms are subject to some conjecture. Even the word 'red' covered a range from almost yellow through orange, russet brown to what we now call crimson. And that's just colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
