When purchasing, or deciding to purchase, the Airfix multipose figgies, bear in mind that they are a re-release of the old sets. This means that although the moulds may have been slightly retooled or touched up, they are still the same as way back when in the day when Airfix was still big...
Re. the scale, again this is a throwback of the old moulds. So the figgies will appear slightly bigger than the convensional 1/35th figures - but equipment doesn't... one size fits all... by adding 1/35th equipment you would be able to portray them as taller lads...
Rumour is the kits were fantastic...
Personally I think the Airfix re-releases are really only catering to the nostalgic...
