Here comes another re-release from Revell of their Australian WWII Infantry that date back to 1990. Always welcome if you are into small-scale dioramas and wargaming.
What’s in the box then? And quality?
Two sprue trees, folded to get them in the box. The expressions and facial features are good, although many of the figures have a mould seam and flash that will need to be carefully removed with a sharp scalpel. The figures will come in handy given the large number of 1:72 armour kits that are now available – many by Revell in their huge range of kits.
The sheer number of figures will give you a lot of flexibility when it comes to creating your diorama or small Desert scene, with spares for other projects.
Instructions and colour painting guide…
The box carries colour painting details with direct reference to Revell Color paints in their range. Sensible guidance is given to wash the sprue in warm soapy water to remove any grease and then they should be ready to go?
What’s the verdict then?
