The Airfix US paratroopers were outclassed by the Esci and Revell already many years ago. That is really a pity as they are excellent sculpts and very realistic. The problem with this set is having a bit too small figures compared to the other two rivals.
Like that they are joining the artillery as they are very easy conversions. Most of the figures got something like a 75mm shell and some Milliput hands after cutting out Garands and Thompsons.
The guns are Waterloo1815.
To the left there is a 3d resin print. This Waterloo1815 is quite generous with three guns and 12 excellent artillerymen but they will end up in another project.
Next. Greek infantry at Crete or more Slovaks
Thankyou for sharing these, I've just managed to find a set of the AP038 in Australia. It will be interesting to see how they compare size wise to the Airfix gun I already have. From the photos I've seen when they were firing the gun they seem to have folded the hitching point forward over the trail.
ReplyDeleteThe guns are 1/72 and the figures are 1/76 so a little small for the guns. Thanks for the tip on the hitching point, but they was just unlimbered and the crew didn´t have time to place it correctly :)
