US Army is for More Clones!

Because I've been editing all the current output over the last few months, things have happened which might otherwise have been 'follow-up's, but a few weeks after I had finished the earlier of today's posts, and the later post today, which was waiting on a set and had put both the finished ones on the back-burner for a while anyway, the following images dropping into my in-box, kindly sent by Dougal Hare (so many thanks' to him) who had no idea the other two posts were in the pipeline.

1:35th Scale; 1:35th Scale Figures; 1:35th Scale Toy Soldiers; 1:35th Scale US Army; Bandai 1/48th Scale; Fujimi F:KIT No.U1; Fujimi Mokei; Fujimi Plastic Figures; Fujimi Plastic Kit; Japanese Model Kit; Japanese Model Kits; Japanese Toy Soldiers; Kit Figures; Made in Japan; Military Miniatures 1/35 US Army; Model Figures; Model Kits; Monogram Infantry Figures; Monogram Originals; Monogram Toy Soldiers; Monogram US Infantry; Paint The Soldiers With Civility; Revell Authentic Kit; Revell Set; Revell Toy Soldiers; Revell US Infantry; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; US Army Uniforms; US Infantry; US Plastic Soldiers;
Like the increasingly hard to fine Bandai 1/48th scale figure kits; this is not a common thing! I had no idea it even existed and I have quite a good Fujimi Mokei archive including all sorts of listings, imagery and several catalogues including an old one. A set of eight figures taken ostensibly from the Revell set but with several figures closer to the Monogram originals; Fujimi F:KIT No.U1.

Classic 1960/70's (I think this is the 1970's boxing?) instruction sheet "...paint the soldiers with civility"! OK? No rude painting of these figures please! No loud colours, no swearing at the cat and do your dressing-gown or smoking-jacket up properly before you sit down at your work station . . . and don't forget to say grace!

The figures, the kit element is limited (as it is/was with both donor sets) to a few small parts; here - attaching the flamethrower tanks and fixing the figures to their bases. The 'modelling' came from the cleaning-up of often quite flashy figures, heavy gate-mark removal and such like, which you can see from the images - in the case with this set.

We looked at their 1:76th scale cousins here (link) and they were equally in need of cleaning-up to get them to a photogenic state! Thanks again to Dougal for sharing this rare set with the rest of us.

    Glad it was of interest - I think said before that I'm still fascinated by the obscurities that RIKO and A.A.Hales imported in the early 1970, a complete world away from contemporary productions from, say, Historex's 'Armour Accessories' range ! I think you've covered the Nichimo 1/30 German infantry set - if not, I can dign mine out and take some pictures.

    If you've got it, I'd love to blog it, IIRC it was only the [anonymous] instruction sheet, and a vague agreement in the comments that it 'must' be Nichimo?!!
