C is for Chinese Combat Chaps

Another box-ticker really, but nice to get this one out of the way, as I've had the bottom shot in Picasa for about six-and-a-half years waiting to find the rest (out in the market place), only to find them, near-mint, in the Cherilea box, putting something away the other day (mixed, might-be-Hill Wild West!), which was nice! It also means the missing Sikhs may turn up as I was sure I had them but can't find them anywhere?

Six poses, are they Chinese, North Korean or UN? In those bloody awful winters, everyone ended up wearing 'Deputy-dog' hats and there are two Bren-like weapons in evidence! But the officer sets the tone - and he's an indoctrinated, enthusiastically-invading, 'commie' rat-fink . . . if ever I saw one!

From the other side (or another aspect), points to note I suppose are the different colours of base plastic, the Japanese style puttees, the US bazooka and British 'life-belt' flamethrower? And that's it really, it's why I call them box-tickers; you all know them . . . other people have covered them . . . these are mine . . . now in the tag-list!

I have spares! Here compared to the Sino-Japanese flamethrower from Charbens (make a useful Rumanian on the Russian Front - summer of '43), ostensibly; the Cherilea are supposed to be 60mm and the Charbens 54' but you can see there's not much in it!.

I could shoot them in a line, but that's for the A-Z Blog one day, I could do more comparisons, but the obvious one will be on the Airfix Gurkha page eventually, so that's it!
