I forgot to mention this in my previous post...
A nostalgic trip through old scans on the web of Airfix magazine annual articles-esp the one by George Gush on the Italian army in the desert in ww2 has left me with a desire to do what I always meant to do aged 13.that is to convert some Airfix 20mm Japanese to ww2 Italians.
These I would field as troops of the imaginary Duchy of Volare-Cantare- a land of wine (in those wicker thingies) song and sun...
To be fielded against my other Ros minitanks/Airfix chaps using the Grant rules from his book.

Any chaps got some lying around I can buy?

p.s
The odd Confederate figure with raised hand would fulfill my desire to convert the Italian from D V Oakley's article Armies by the Dozen by the way too

One can't go far wrong with Belloc indeed!

DeleteI still remain attracted by the project never done in 1973,but your option is easier and perhaps more sensible.Yet I remain of a mind to break forth the banana oil etc.We shall see...
email me your address at matratmatt@yahoo.co.uk, I have the acw confederates I can send you, but not any Japanese WW2.
