Airfix Kit Figures - Willys Jeep and Trailer

Set A01322

This one barely made it on to our list. It is a fairly recent addition to the Airfix range, and seems to have been a Heller mould originally. Whatever its origin, the jeep comes with two figures as pictured, one being the driver and the other standing and manning the mounted machine gun. As you can see, they are not impressive. To begin with they are very small. Airfix claim a scale of 1/72, but that perhaps applies to the vehicle but not the figures, which are at most 21 mm tall if standing straight, so they only really work inside this or similar vehicles. The detail is poor, with the standing man's right arm being a smooth featureless strand on one side. Both are minimally equipped, although look correct as far as they go, and the poses are OK thanks to both having separate arms. However these offer nothing that various figure sets do better, so nice to see them in such a kit, but of little value elsewhere.

This product has only appeared in a handful of Airfix catalogues, and never with the kit made up, so the above artwork is the only image available from the company.
