Can anyone identify these 8th Army 1/32 scale plastic figures please (1 Viewer)

[barneywomble]

Hi fellow collectors... i recently picked up these from Aussie eBay.... they are a great set of poses including flame thrower, radio operator and vickers machine gunner not to mention Monty (with both beret badges). tops of the bases are stamped "Made in England" and the bases have relief mouldings like trye tracks in the sand.... does anyone know what brand they are or how old they might be.... ? I did think they may have been matchbox but I'm fairly sure they are not. Any help will be greatly appreciated. all the best, marc

Nice find, great poses they should paint up well.

Some Timpo's I painted awhile back.

Those are Timpo 8th army figs I believe. Correct me if I am wrong....

Two of the poses are virtually identical to the Timpo Foreign Legions poses, the guy standing firing and the bayonetting guy.
