    Wish Airfix had done that Coast Assault Set in 54MM.

  2. James Nixon says:

    I wished they had done all their 1/72 playsets in 1/32. Surely they would have made a fortune out of them.

  3. Wayne W says:

    I’ve thought that many times myself.

  4. Biff Smith says:

    Many great photos, and I sure agree with the Airfix 1/32 comments!!

  5. Craig W. Scribner says:

    Anyone know who made the “Purple (Space?) Vehicle?”

  6. TD Barnecut says:

    I like the box of longhorns but wonder about their scale and brand? No pun intended.

  7. ERWIN SELL says:

    Many interesting and hard to see stuff here in US.
    I’m glad for all who enjoyed.

  8. Everett Atwater says:

    I found a brand of toy soldiers on Ebay called “Kit-soldiers” it claims they are based out of Ukraine, does anyone know anything about them? and if they have a website?

    • ERWIN SELL says:

      Yes they had produced 3 or 4 sets so far ,made in classic 1/32 scale .
      Soft plastic.
      They were posted here once with first set.
      Their last release is a couple of figures an Indian and a frontiersman.
      Rest of set are larger and belong to Ukrenia medieval history so far .
      I have them.
