Airfix WW2 1:32 "U.S. Paratroopers"


       Hello everyone!  A new set started in 2020 is my first try to this excellent Airfix issue of  WW2  "U.S.Paratroopers " in 54mm or 1:32 scale.
      Beautifull figures in special poses and hopefully  the faces do not have mould lines in the middle!
This is a significant detail to have a nice painted face and unfortunatelly many of the Airfix sets are having this problem...


      Some things that I would like them to be better in these figures is , at first,  the weapons detail. Some of the poses , as it is in the officer above , have poor detail in the weapons sculpture so you cannot do many things there.. And then is the uniforms patch. Knee patches are not sculpted here so you have to paint them as I did in one of the figures below. This is not a problem but if there was a sculpted line I believe the result would be better..



        Anyway, in general I like the set very much and enjoy painting it. Here are some more pictures of the first three figures, in black and white background..( Yes I still have that issue ,:) ..)










  

 Thats all for now. Hope you like them :)

..'till next time...

Accurate AWI " British Redcoats" 1:32

  
        Two more figures I painted sometime in 2019 and I didn't have the time to display ,are those two beautiful "Accurate"  1:32 Redcoats. They where siting in my spare box for years and I thought that the time has come for me to bring them to life....
         I have to find this set to buy so I can paint all of them . They are really nice figures, as all the Accurate 1:32 sets.
























 





That's all for now. I hope you like them :)

'Till next time
