So, a quick round-up of WWII'ey or
Modernish stuff most of which I've posted elsewhere in the last twelve months
or so, but a couple of which are here for the first time.
A couple more Polish figures, I've actually
scored three lots, which we will look at in other posts, but this pair were my
first two of the 'Four Tankers & a Dog', Polish TV/Movie related set from PZG, so they were posted with pride a
while ago!
Flying West we find this chap (pink) as a
Portuguese cereal premium, now, I thought I'd posted these here, but I can't
find them, neither can I find any group shots in Picasa, or from the Faceplant Group
where I posted this shot, so I don't know what happened to them, but there are
more to come (four I think?), currently in storage . . . un-photographed?
Heading South on the same continent finds
us in Italy where these could be Jumbo,
but are more likely to be Dulcop
given the lack of paint. I have Jumbo
(or Jumbotoys) marked Wild West with
paint, these - unpainted - are just marked Italy and were, I suspect, used by
both brand-marks.
Staying in Italy, and we're back with Co-Ma (Coma, CO'MA), for their smaller Alpini, also available in a
60mm'ish size and various bright colours (white and red in my case), and a vary
diminutive '20mm' closer to HO, these are a smallish 50mm and more realistic in
polymer shade.
Returning home to the UK and we have the
shooting targets from Kleeware/Ideal,
courtesy of Chris Smith, we've seen them before, and on that occasion I also
showed the Ideal catalogue image, but
now I've found the Kleeware one . . .
. . . which has not been seen elsewhere, so
is a 'blog exclusive'! I mean; it's just a scan and I seem to recal it's been seen in Plastic Warrior magazine, but it closes the circle on
these, since their first appearance here!
Also not seen before, I shot the full Britains Deetail 'Battle Group' while
they were on their way to the storage unit, we saw most of them when I cleaned
them up a decade ago, but there are a few additions, and they nicely fill a 4-litre
Really Useful Box. I've left the
painted Afrika Korps officer with them, but he's a bit shy!
These two only came-in the other day; a
quick feeBay snaffle, you may remember (it's on the Airfix Blog) that my existing bazooka man was cobbled together from
a kit of parts and a lot of 'superglue', these two are nice, clean and still
flexible, so complete. And here compared with the HO-OO figure.
These are just for fun, I don't have a
brand, brand-mark or set name yet, probably late 1980's, Hong Kong 'army men',
I just love the colours! The same outfit seems to have been responsible for the
25mm clones, where you find the Japanese are commonest, in the same whacky colours.
Found! They were in a different folder!
Portuguese
cereal premiums! The radio operator is a smoother/cleaner finished sculpt - so
two issues? And maybe Japanese . . . or generic post war 'army men'?
Apparently they are by/for Farinha Amparo, a flour-miller?
