I sanded the berets down this evening, and they look a lot better. I'll hunt out the Revell's too - I had been thinking about the Matchbox 8th Army I realised.AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-84249368219631866132012-12-02T14:58:37.743-08:002012-12-02T14:58:37.743-08:00Cheers, Paul.

I look forward to seeing them painted.Ben B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11032912544426547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-40091581284574362392012-12-02T04:47:13.498-08:002012-12-02T04:47:13.498-08:00OOps, Did I say Pegasus Korean War?

What about A Call To Armies 1/72nd re-release of the old Heral khaki army figures. More helmet to beret conversions (or lots of camoflage) but the trousers aren't too baggy and there are some slr's.<br /><br />The beret's perhaps look better in the picture than in life but what I can see isn't bad, just a bit too big. <br /><br />It seems to me that the Revel 8th Army Scots have a number of figures in balmoral and long pants. Of course its only about a dozen figures per box.<br /><br />Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-35740258013263675702012-12-01T21:32:26.128-08:002012-12-01T21:32:26.128-08:00Plenty of T34/85's and SU85's or SU100'...Plenty of T34/85's and SU85's or SU100's seem to have been used along with 5.5inch QF guns from the Airfix Matador set, I would hazard a calcuted guess the M1 series of 105mm guns.<br /><br />M8 Greyhounds were bound to have been fielded along with US Jeeps and their Soviet counterpart.<br /><br />Maybe some Comets, but I doubt it.<br /><br />Happy hunting.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666481879639671282noreply@blogger.com
