Here is a conversation of an 1:72 (H0) Airfix WWII US. Paratrooper into a cold war German Bundeswehr Trooper. It´s a great pity, Airfix, the big player in making figures, produce no loger the little men. I wish next year will bring us Airfix figures again and maybe some new sets like modern figures, or even some cold war figures. Hier ist ein Umbau eines 1:72 (H0) Airfix WWII US.Fallschirmjägers in einen Bundeswehrschützen des "kalten Krieges". Es ist sehr schade, dass Airfix, als großer Figurenhersteller keine Figuren mehr produziert. Ich wünsche mir für nächstes Jahr wieder Airfixfiguren und vielleicht sogar einige neue Figurensätze moderner Figuren, oder sogar aus der Zeit des "kalten Krieges"./media/tinymce_upload/4e8f2349ffd27a3c7e0a76167e88860b.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/4bdcb002db84c237ea0823945e2aee7d.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/66e8806abc78674e77d8e8e112c9e63d.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/bdad082abdec803c3f68ce7924c55cf8.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/ae505d44a97d7086a9202b57483c8e7a.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/a4f18a0c0d937c158c7817646a6f25be.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/eb11af2b13539d71b62099ff354bbc89.jpg

Hier sind Bilder meines Airfix 1:72 Afrika Korps. Meiner Meinung nach gehören sie zu den besten Figurensätzen die je von Airfix hergestellt wurden. Here are pictures from my Airfix 1:72 Afrika Korps. In my opinion this is one of the best Airfix sets ever. /media/tinymce_upload/c866756e79424db4365bbcd45c65b79f.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/a66af720cf55a78868dc8f0c5ceef7c4.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/81cc8b4b1500f8686e682e46b259ce8c.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/b059b4821b2176d5d9bc05266b040462.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/94e7a77dbe3c3cf35d6456f8f8b42915.jpg

Hi John and Carlzere, Thank you for your sentiments for the painting. I am very happy about this. After cleaning the figures I spray an adhesive primer -as undercoat- on (in German it is called "Haftgrundierung") in white. Then painting, shading ect. and after this I use a clear cote as finish.

Yes, it`s the Airfix 1763 British Infantry Set. You are right Nuno!

Here are some pictures of my painted British Infatry WW2 in "Northern Europe" /media/tinymce_upload/c54d01dd6411e947b9b3469b7672f835.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/320cb2ca592a6a2ac3ec3d7f387e12d3.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/66b190882f71a5fd9a3f14a05f13ca72.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/6a94bb2f2e56b2f954a32de2299971fd.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/9bed6f6bf4c06521e885ad23f9041dec.jpg the pictures are not so good, I am sorry.

Here are pictures from my last work: Airfix "Forward Command Post" in 1:76. I build it on a self made base and created some demolition waste of plastics and sand. I used some tufts of static grass. Reviewed I think the roof I painted a little to red. The walls are to thin and the roofing tile are to big, but it is an old kit. I did not used the other parts of the kit and it is suitable for different settings (not only for WW2). /media/tinymce_upload/df62e56f4b36600c9bf68d1843de1c83.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/ded7e978d8d05a49694cb5dbda2802cd.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/94ad415fd20e7732e94a445133eb2e50.jpgI

Hi, thank you for letting me know! I mean the SAS 1:32 from Airfix (from the 1980`s)

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?
