Back in 2009 TQD Castings created a small range of 1/72nd scale 1980's British infantry figures suitable for the Falklands War. But they proved to be as elusive as 'Ginge' Tavish McTavish in a ghillie suit. Well, cover is finally blown and they have been released by C-P Models.

TQD-MF2 BRITISH ARMY INFANTRY
(seperate heads and bergans)
I like the fact that the bergans are separate and you can choose the head options when you order. However, I personally find the style of the figures more suitable for a static diorama than wargame table. Having said that, the Special Forces types in the first pack (TQD-MF1) would make a nice set of characters for Winter of 79 especially if you want a small colourful force - they wear waterproof leggings which could be painted dark red or blue rather than khaki to give that 'irregular', private army or rebel forces look.
At £6.80, for a pack of six miniatures, you pays your money and makes your choice.

Nice
ReplyDeleteBut they are expensive!
By way of comparison, a similar pack of six actively posed 1970's/80's SAS from Rolf Hedges is £3.90.

They're lovely figures - I was thinking of getting some to work as RMP.
