Ratch Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Just completed for the ATF 11th Anniversary GB, a constant fight with the very old, brittle, cheese-like quality of the plastic. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billydick Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thats a real labour of love painting all those uniforms and instruments Ratch. Is it an old Airfix boxing ? I'm not familiar with it. Great job and just in time for Trooping of the Colour ! BillyD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thanks very much Billy. Yes, they were first issued in 1960 with the code S1 until 1972, and under 01701-9 from '73 to ;75. I was lucky to buy them for £2 a couple of years ago - but the plastic really is dreadful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
