Tomek22 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek22 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi dabhand,thank you for this! Yes I liked and like Airfix Figures very much and this is of the best ones. But I also think now it is time for new Sets. But please, not more of WW2 stuff, it is boring. Every the same, same, same.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ613 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 i was wondering if the 1/72 figures would be ok for a 1/76 diorama because I'm having trouble trying to find any 1/76 ww2 figs.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The figures ARE 1/76 (despite what is says on some boxes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 That, and a 6 foot tall human is 72 inches tall. So the difference between 1/72 scale and 1/76 scale is a little under 4 inches, and real humans vary in height by more than that.You might notice differences in the lengths of rifles and LMGs if you mix figures from a single nation in the 2 scales to make a unit, but if you were to have a 1/72 scale British unit and a 1/76 scale German one in a diorama I don't think anyone would ever notice.

Dad Paul B Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Nice work as always Tomek. I am still amazed at how you paint detail which I can't even see on the figures.New figure sets, especially in reasonably hard styrene would be nice but I suspect they are not a big enough Market for Airfix as other firms have the field pretty well covered, especially since the design process is very different to vehicles. At HO/OO (1/87 or 1/76 I think) scale they are possibly small even for 1/76 so can look incongruous with 1/72. The biggest problem I have with them is the plastic which is very difficult to clean for painting, doesn't carry detail all that well (not helped by the age and many uses of the toolings) and has a tendency to bend and crack the paint.I would still like to see new sets, including 1960s Royal Marines to go with a Wessex and US troops to go with a Huey which would be an interesting project.

Kenneth ONeill Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 "OO" is, or should be, strictly a model railway scale, defined as a general scale of 1/76, with stock reduced to a track gauge of 1/87 scale to give a little extra space for running gear inside a British loading gauge.
