AIRFIX - THE WAY IT WAS

WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE!

Here is a look at the sets showing the boxes,
the number of poses and the typical plastic
colour they came in. Also for a laugh I shall
point out artwork troops that do not
exist in plastic!

The running MP40 man on the box does not exist!
Great pose and I wish they had actually sculpted it!

See the guy with the machine gun on bottom right?
He's just an artists impression!

The Aussies are more or less true to form!

The Yanks are spot on too!

The charging 'actual size' man is inaccurate!

The charging 'actual size' man is again inaccurate!

You can't argue with the Russians, can you?
But the 'actual size' man is not accurate plus can you 
spot the man running with the rifle on the box?

The Paras are alright too!

D.A.K. are pretty accurate!

These guys need to sort out that mess!

So are the U.S. Paras!

Gibirsjager MG42 is fed the other way on the box 
and the skier has one stick raised!

I always liked this artwork. Great set too.

The box says 'Ghurkas' when it should be Gurkhas!
Nevermind, at least the set is great.

This is where the boxes got boring! 
Bring back the 'Target Box' Please!

This is where the box is elusive and expensive!
