That said, you need quite a few to make up units of one position, such as the marching figures.

I know they were innacurate, but they looked good painted en masse; stupidest thing I ever did was give my collection away in the late 80s, but Airfix stuffed me. Soon after I started they 'upgraded' to the larger boxes and dropped the artillery, Cowboys and wagon train sets, so no chance of expanding my forces or doing any Terry Wise conversions.Jeffershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319010033525561907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-86976354553414772582019-04-19T13:00:38.009-07:002019-04-19T13:00:38.009-07:00Airifx still cannot be beat!Airifx still cannot be beat!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751744958434403184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-15369615291365207862019-04-19T05:56:42.861-07:002019-04-19T05:56:42.861-07:00Enjoyed, thanks.
