That's interesting, George, I didn't know that. I had the Romans and Britons from the HO kits. I knew how the soft plastic didn't hold paint well, and a paint job would flake off after just a little bit of handling...the problem with the older series one boxes is the plastic on the figures sometimes dries out and they shatter into pieces...
I have an Airfix box of 54mm soldiers that broke into many parts after 20-years. Maybe its the humidity in Hawaii that destroyed them.That's interesting, George, I didn't know that.

But the Airfix figures were so cool, to set up a nice diorama.
Prost!
