    Excellent video, General! This one might even be my favorite episode so far. I had no idea about those Hing Fat Australians, but the quality is actually pretty damn good. I have also heard good things about Expeditionary Force's Australians, but then again those might be a bit too big for Airfix. I once heard Matchbox was originally going to upscale their 1/72 WWII ANZAC Infantry Set for the 1/32 Market. They were never able to complete that- a shame because the poses were absolutely excellent. Looking forward to future episodes. This is easily my favorite hobby channel on RUclips. All the best man!

    • @ThePlasticGeneral
      @ThePlasticGeneral  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you good Hector!! Warning, you will have to trim your Hing-Fat weapons on all your figures. I forgot to mention this important detail. Yes EX Force is too big. Sad. And YES, Matchbox had plans to release their greatest sculpts the Australians and Japanese in 1:32 but at the last minute canceled! That really sucks!! Those would have been an Epic, Classic Set!!!!!!

    I only just noticed that the Airfix Bren gunner has the spare parts wallet for the gun on his belt. Airfix often used to throw in the odd little touch of authenticity like that. 😊

      Also! The HING FAT guys look like they mixed in the Airfix australians with the Airfix Gurkhas! For future expansion/conversions of the Aussies/Kiwis you should look into the Gurkhas and their quality knock-offs.

      ​@@ThePlasticGenerala lot of the more unique poses from the Hing Fat Guys are similar to the Airfix Gurkhas, especially the bren gun poses. I have also seen old hong-kong made Airfix clones for em! (Just not sure of what the brand is sorry)

    Thank you, CA, for another incredible video! Loved your stern Aussie command accent. Also loved factory painted idea. Those are much better than self-painted figs for give away to kids who like to play with their toys in the tub (flaking enamel PTSD). Looking forward to future shows and to acquiring your new sculpts. MASH was great show, but I'm not interested in 1/32 medics and ambulances. Fighting poses, action poses, that's what I want. Docs and minesweepers very important in war, they just don't make good toy soldiers.

    Poses chosen by manufacturers were always an issue for me. Even as a kid I only wanted poses that were showing weapon aiming front, maybe a throwing hand grenade, an officer pointing or looking through binoculars, maybe one standing guard and a couple crawling. I hated any that were running, looking back or doing any weird stuff that I couldn't use in a play battle.

      Thank you for asking. The running time for the episode was 31 min, if I was to have gone threw all 18 poses of the Japanese the running time would have been way too high. I'm going to cover them in a quick turn around episode where I also feature the Japanese hospital. Maybe I'll call it BANZI HOSPITAL!
