Hi, here's a small review of one of my latests bargains 144, 1/72 soldiers for 20 cents manufactured by Wing Lung. However this price was paid on a local flea market, the retailprice is unknown to me.
But strange is the label of the set "British soldiers" but none of the poses is British! all the miniatures are airfix copies slightly smaller but unnoticable on the wargame table.
The set contains 12 sprues with the following poses:
- 4 German soldier poses
- 5 American marines (some poses are not airfix)
- 3 German paratroopers
The set contains following numbers:
- German soldier poses (48)
- American marines (some poses are not airfix) (60)
- German paratroopers (36)
Just another bargain waiting be picked up at a flea market! 20 cents unbelievable! What will I do with them? I will make 3 German battalions, 2 marines battalions and 2 german paratrooper battalions! So enought stuff to paint not mentioning my japanese and russians!
