One of my white Knights was different. He had both hands together above his head holding a sword. Everything else was the same, still love them

Hello Jerry. Good to see a video again. Im not into sports figures but they as nice as the soldiers. I never seen those in my young days but i think i would have liked them. As a youngster i used to collect trading Australian Football cards. I don't know much about the British or European football or soccer as i know it. That's pretty cool.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

Airfix did bring a foe Modern Russian infantry, just happened to see them lust on eBay £299.00 so I guess pretty rare

Question. Where would I find Airfix collectables in H0/00 in Sweden ?

hmm that stuff does not look realistic does it?

Great video, thank you

would love to get a box of these and paint them as Confederate Cavalry, great video

I never got the Airfix cowboys but had plenty of 32nd knock offs, thank you for posting this great video because it is like I am a child again making me want this toy for Christmas.

These were so cool and your video again brings back so many memories

Used to have these back in the day, happy memories

So cool! I had these in the early 70’s probably about 73/74

I can’t find the nato troops anywhere do you know where I can find them

Anyway to buy these?

I love your enthusiasm, being born in 1961....i grew up with played with and collect these simple but joyful models along with making many Airfix kits ......happy days ,thanks for bringing back so many wonderful childhood memories.....love Airfix

Nice set of vehicles and soldiers.

The Rusjies was one of my favourite sets!

4:26 Forrest Gump saving Bubba.

Had these and the indians but the US Calvary were my favourite sculpts

Awesome 👍🏻

Good morning Jerry I hope you’re reading this eBay French foreign Legion box set pretty good condition not expensive. The set you after in French for Legion you’ll see it. I was going to bid on it but I’ve got two. I hope you get this one eight out of 10 good luck.

Can you talk about that BEAUTIFUL looking book in the background? Looks like it has an ME109 and a Mark IV tank on it- that looks super!

Happy to hear they did Romans as I was sitting here curious as to why there weren't any ancients- perhaps Airfix felt Atlantic had that coveed but it sounds like you need the Romans so at least they were represented.

Might be time to shift my collector focus from 54mm scale metal painted toy soldiers to back to plastics. Metal toy soldiers are getting too expensive anymore.

I was never a fan of the 1:76 scale, but some argued that you got more figures in a box so were better value and they were better for dioramas, you could have more going on in a smaller space. They were definitely more compatible with matchbox sized vehicles, which was a bonus, as you could integrate your car and soldier collections.

Seriously, I miss the quality of the plastic of that time. My dad had all of these, and I had many more. Do you have the Tarzan and High Chaparral set.

I remember those. I collected (and played with) the HO (1:76 scale) series. Probably my favorite toys untill the Star Wars craze started.

From George. I once painted a whole box of ho.o scale or 1/72 scale German paratroopers. It took forever to do. I'm talking about a decade ago. Those box loads you have are amazing. I make up on model kits of all kinds. But my love is Aircraft from WWI to present. But earlier Aircraft. From 1945 and on we're the most attractive Jet Aircraft of the time. Too many to name.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

Very cool.

Used to have the Romans (grey) and the French legion ( dark bleu) , including the Sahara fortress (white)

Great video ! These boxes were slightly before my time (I started buying in late 1970/early 1971), so lovely to see them all. Some of the release dates struck me as interesting, if I heard right. ACW sets in 1962 - around time of 100th anniversary of the war, and good for US market of course. Russian/Jap in 1964/1965 ? - 20th anniversary of tail end of WW2. And the first WW1 sets in 1966/1967 - 50th anniversary of middle of WW1. Makes me wonder if this was deliberate marketing to tie in with history TV shows at the time and/or other commemorative events. Probably also worth adding that the Farm Stock and Civilians ones were intended to fit in with the Airfix HO/00 model railway kit range - although I used both for wargames purposes much later, and I am sure others did too. Anyway, thanks again for this video and others I have enjoyed, and look forward to more. 🙂

Three of the sets you need can be found on the U.S. ebay site.

Great video and theres quite a few I have never seen before, great collection. Just a question though do you think in this modern age (I use the term modern loosely) that these amazing artwork boxes let alone the figures would be made. I can see even some of the names on the boxes causing problem for some people.

Hi Jerry. I came off face book few years back but will rejoin to talk about Airfix. You must visit UK and our toy fairs. Soldiers not easy to find but always on offer and loads of airfix toys. Plus other toys from 70's. Have to say ancient Britain's very cool set. Got those to fight Romans😊 Keep filming. Chat on face book soon.

Super video! As I recall Airfix also released an Ancient Britons set, which contained a terrific chariot.

Not sure if you mentioned it already and I missed it, but how many sets total are there and how many are you missing? I believe the five you listed were just from the first decade, correct? Also, have you done videos with the WWI figures? I’d like to see it if you have a link …

I had those 2 sets, the Arabs and french foreign legion. The Arabs were yellow and the French, understandably, were blue. An unusual and nice addition in the toy soldiers landscape at the time. I seem to recall Airfix also made a fort for the French, classic siege situation. Don't rush to complete your collection... you'll be forced to start another one later. The cherry effect :D

First time seeing this 15 JULY 2024……. I like AIRFIX figure kits… I like using them in MINIATURE 1/72 1/76 dioramas They are usually good for a few figures in a box to incorporate them into a Scene / Dioramas…. The AIRFIX AMERICAN CIVIL WAR FIGURES can make a great battlefield diorama…… I use the AIRFIX ( various ) Pilot and Ground crew sets for different aircraft kits… Good Channel, you have my like 👍….. AIRFIX ON ……… CHRIS 🇺🇸
