BillMC Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Has anyone got details of the Humbrol paint guide for these figures? I've got a set that needs to be pained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Innes Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 That looks like a nice bit of work on those figures. I always thought that Airfix's WW1 French infantry was one of their best sets (and one of the best WW1 set of any manufacturer) with 20 poses, excellent sculpting and choice of poses. Not entirely accurate but "close enough". Also with a simple change of colour (blue to khaki) a lot of them can be used as early WW2 soldiers. Just to clarify (forgive my ignorance), why would the officer be court-martialed? Is it because he's not in the lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
