Agreed those airmen look good. So glad I asked the question as I thought my airman was a fake. I even tried to sell it in 2018 ad no one wanted it. So glad now. I am going to keep an eye out now... Again thanks for sharing///

Champs and Bums is selling one now. They tend to go for very little. Just not that popular or well know to most collectors.

Hi
I think you're right my Zulu is not K&C. But no idea what it is. I added him in the following pics.
A number (a lot) of years back I bought 3 Zulus and 3 Seaforths/highlanders - and the seller I bought them from gave me the original receipt. To this day I regret not buying a bucket full.
You can see from the bases the searthfoth & Zulus have the same grass/undulating effect - my odd unknown Zulu has a thin long base.

I noticed today on the receipt that each set must of come as a 4... But I only bought 3.... But love the receipt.... nice bit of history...

Finally - Think I am going to look for those airmen.. they look good with a plane...

Thankyou - I did wonder if you were one of the authors. I have seen previews of it and it looks amaising. Also noticed that there are other books. One was of Arnhem... Were you involved in that!

Yes. I wrote the text for all the volumes, and most of the photos, taken by the very talented co-author, photographer and editor Kevin Eliott, are from my collection.

You had mentioned earlier that some of the Seaforths you owned were different sizes. When K & C first started making figures, they were of the traditional 1/32 or 54mm size. Later on, Andy decided, especially with the introduction of the Arnhem range in 1994/5, to make figures that were 1/30 or 60mm. The Seaforths that you showed above in post 22 were made after 1994/5 and were part of that trend.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I am based in the UK, and shipping costs seem to be v high from US to UK! The seller also confirm that. Hopefully some will turn up in the UK!
There's the Toy soldier show in the UK soon so hopefully I will pickup some stuff there. http://www.toysoldiershow.co.uk/
Have a great evening....

Yes, shipping costs have prevented me from buying some things in the UK.
