These are sooooo forgotten they don’t even make them any more!
I don’t actually know how long I have had them…. at least 40 years. I got them as a child. Still in their box and on their sprue.
Just look at the awesome detailing on these miniatures. Not exactly the most dynamic set Airfix ever made. I still have the Tarzan set and covered wagons somewhere.
I still think my most favourite set was this one…
I saved up my pocket money and went to the Toy Shop and bought it when I was around 8 years old.
The thing I remember from the boxes was the amazing artwork
I had the B17 amongst others…
Oh yeah, I just loved Airfix stuff and am fully with you on the British WW artillery set! Favourite plane kit I had was the Italian Savoia Marchetti SM79 torpedo bomber!

Nice bit of nostalgia. There is an IPMS SIG that recreates the box art that I saw at a model show one time.
Cheers,
Pete.
