Childhood Memories / 1:32 Airfix Figures

I had loads of Timpo and other swoppits. Not that many Airfix (7th Cavalry, Indians and German Infantry). Everything else was 1/72.

I had some of these figures to Paul. They were great because you could change them in the figures you wanted. I had ceveral of them from the ACW. Maybe I still got them, but all these figures are in a big box on my attick. There was one minor point, the weapons. It was very easy to loose them.

I have also some Waterloo airfix figures, in fact I showed one in this topic:

I remember there were cheap figures around that copied this parts swap principle from Timpo's. I have to say I was fonder of the oldest figures I had with no interchangeable parts, but which were more appealing to me. I think they were even hand-painted in those days but I cannot remember the name of the company. (NOT Elastolin, I never had those!)

And it is either expensive or hard to get. Sigh! I checked some dealers. I've ordered it. We'll see if I'll get it.
