Colour and pose variations and a Stadden comparison shot
Full set and some paint
Bit of gloss-red 'enhancing' this one!
Montaplex
Hat - both box types + Whole sprue and colour variant.
The larger figure is known to come in a
Ri-Toys (Rado Industrial Co., Hong Kong) bag, so probably the source for all the above?
Having collected these for over forty years now, I think it's fair to claim these are all the colours they were issued in, but you never know with Hong Kong production, another colour altogether might have been sent to/issued in Peru, or Ulaanbaatar!
Another sample, these dun-brown or pale olive colours seem to be the commonest ones, especially with the larger 50mm versions. Although the greens are quite common too, the blue I have only found once, but it was larger enough to give me all the poses I think?
A painted-up sample of the 50mm,
Rado figures, representing later-war figures in Khaki, they have only just received their new uniforms and still have the blue-grey helmets!
Colour variants; above we have three Airfix and a H
รคt Industries in blue, below the three Airfix colours, a brownish-grey, a mid-grey and a darker one which seems to have been formed by leaching of one of the additives, creating a layer of darker material, which play has worn-off unevenly.
English Civil War / 30 Year's War type musketeer, converted from a WWI Frenchman, some other bugger's effort, not mine, the rest of the unknown modeller/wargamer's army were converted from
Robin Hood and
Sheriff of Nottingham figures, and will be seen on those pages.
A couple more OBE's which have come-in, showing the difference between earlier and latter-war uniforms, in so far as simple home-paint at the amateur end of the spectrum can!
Barravelli from Italy copied the standard-bearer (or got someone in Hong Kong to copy it for them), but it's such a poor quality, that by the time the skirt of the greatcoat was stripped-away, he looks more like the
Airfix Japanese Infantry standard-bearer!
