AirfixModel Figures Set - A02711V WWII U.S. Paratroops - Model Building Kit Accessories, Plastic Model Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes 14 Unpainted Figures - Accessory for Dioramas

Easy to assembleGood quality, instructions includedVery quick delivery

Bought for diaramma to add some extra details. Dad was very pleased

Fairly detailed, but was some moulding issues. One of the soldiers had a dodgy eye so painted a bandage. Look good once painted and quit cheap to buy. Good for people who want larger figures to paint than miniatures.

Excellent Product to build on my model diorama. Good price

Cool

Perfect for application! Taken on a stag do to Manchester for toms Stag do and played the army men game! Various positions into a bag and each member pulling one out, pulled them out in the red Lyon and mixed response, many keen but few sceptical, matthews stating that an idea like this was bold whilst big was out right refusing to play as he stated “this ain’t a cheap jumper” after pulling a lying soldier, regretfully I allowed a second draw from the bag with the first being passed to badge! Karma…. Another lying down figure…. Perfect! Aim of the game When positions shout was called, don’t be the last stag into position!With soldiers in hand and questions on minds, the stag left the Lyon and proceeded down to the first booking of the day, a quick call of positions left Jase in last position! Early sightings were strong and commitment had been made to the game, a quick swing into a park where the first punishment was to take place, the loser versus Tom…. Every time…without fail. A bottle of beer and a chugging device for each person laid bare in a circle created by the stags would have been enough for most people to cotton on…. But jase wanted an explanation…. Explanation given and am measily second place for jade after wearing most of the contents of the bottle! On to the pub, with a quick cameo appearance made on tv which was greeted with animosity by the host, not to be put off we carried on! Leaving the stags for a short while to accompany Davies to the charity shop for a quick outfit for the stag, returning to the group and fitting Tom with his new( far from new) charity shop trainers, nail polish, man united beany ( Beaming with glory, a team unrivalled by many, the only team in history to win the true Treble! Many have tried but only failed) fitted with this new kit and a false confidence, calling “I’m bored “ on various occasions, only to be supplied with 5 shots and soon crying “can my dad have one”, the stag was put in his place! And members of the group began to shine, jase and daz a showing enthusiasm, Neil and Shaun well and truely warmed up. Now apologies if the story gets hazy from here but multiple beers had and memory aging, on to a canal street, prime time canal street, 3pm Saturday afternoon, bar bare but unnerved the stag group marched to the bar, beers ordered, tables attended and chat aplenty! A key change by the DJ, karaoke had been started…. The entrepreneur…. Jase!!! Brilliant….. the song

A nice selection of RAF crew. As a keen modeller, particularly WW2 aircraft thought I would enhance my display with some figure. 1/72 is quite small but they were well detailed, very little flashing.

This 1/32 scale is a bit annoying, when most model kits are 1/35, but I knew that when I purchased, so more of a niggle than a complaint. Having said that, I remembered the figures from my childhood and they were great fun to paint up. I have a couple more of the 1/32 sets too, and they all are so evocative of my 1970s childhood. Some of the poses are so lodged in my memory. Just a shame they can't be incorporated into a 1/35 diorama. The plastic is perhaps a little brittle, and ends of guns are inclined to be bent or missing, hence the dropped star. Still great fun though.

Nothing to dislike about AirFix 1/32 scale British infantry

Not as bad as some reviews say! I bought these along with the Airfix WWII British paratroopers because they come in a dark tan or brownish color, unlike the vintage originals that came in the same olive drab green as the American soldiers Airfix made. I like for my toy soldier factions to be different colors, so if you’re like me, these are great! My set came with the correct number of figures and correct number of poses, with none being broken out of the box! Some weapon tips may be slightly bent, but a careful bend will fix them instantly! These are hard plastic, so not ideal for rough play, but a pretty solid option for collectors!

These are hard plastic, one of my standing/walking bayonet riflemen had the bayonet tip broken off out of the box, but that was all I have to gripe about! My set contained the correct number of figures and poses as listed on the back of the box, which given the bad reviews, I wasn’t expecting! I bought these for the dark tan or brown color of the figures, as the vintage Airfix versions of this set come in the same olive drab green as the Americans, and was hoping to avoid quality control issues. Like said, one broken bayonet was all there was, these are solid options for collectors! Probably not suitable for rough play given the hard plastic, though. Some weapons may be bent, but careful/gentle bending of your own can fix them instantly!

It's slightly bigger than expected but it'll be used regardless
