As discussed previously I am considering buying a matched
pair of 20mm USMC/Japanese forces for Bolt Action. Obviously amphibious
landings are a significant factor in this theatre. I happened to visit
Hobbycraft (looking for storage boxes) and spotted the old Airfix kits. I have
not put an Airfix kit together for over 30 years, and all my childhood memories
came flooding back! Before I knew it I had purchased a DUWK, Buffalo LVT and a
Churchill tank. I spent a happy few days assembling and painting the models
whilst wallowing in nostalgia. Blimey, they certainly liked to model suspension
systems in great detail – so many small, fiddly bogeys!
Now I need the figures, I did consider using Airfix again,
but quickly reject this idea. I think I will base my forces on some Battlepacks
from Lancashire Games (nice and cheap) which I plan to buy at Warfare in a
couple of weeks, supplemented by extras from Brittania Miniatures. Does anyone
know whether these figures are compatible, and have suggestions about other
manufacturers?
