A Quest as worthy as that for the Grail. Keep on going, and Good Luck.
Nicely painted. How does their height check out...are they1/72 or 1/76???
Congrats! Bill

They are definately 1/76. They really are quite small, put them alongside a Zvezda or Italeri bod and they look like teenagers :-)

I love the guy playing air guitar with his rifle and the officer doing his "I'm a tea pot" impression.

Not one of Airfix's finest moments but another excellent addition to your pantheon of painted Airfix sets.

I like the Airfix quest so much :-D ! It gives me back old memories but it is also a lesson on how to paint and make the most of sometimes not so good figures ;-) , And well, this set is one of those I do not have :cry: , but I still have the older series (almost complete)... :mrgreen:
Please continue your quest and let us see the results.
I thant you heartfully.

It could not have been said better. :thumbup: Doing this quest is a good test for me..learning how to make different colours etc

My favourite quest is on again! Very nice! And it is almost like looking through an old Airfix catalogue. This takes longer, but definitely worth it!
