About product

WWII British 8th Army 1:76 (Airfix)

The 1:76 set contains around 45 figures of the British 8th Army in about fourteen different poses, molded in a softer plastic. It belongs to the Vintage Classics range, which brings proven classic Airfix molds back to life. The figures represent the soldiers known as the Desert Rats, dressed in the equipment typical of the North African campaign.

The real subject

The British 8th Army was formed in September 1941 in the Western Desert and became one of the most famous Allied formations of the war. It fought the Italian units and later Rommel's Afrika Korps, and under the command of Bernard Montgomery it won the decisive Battle of El Alamein. Its men wore light tropical uniforms and distinctive headgear.

Building and painting tips

The figures are made of a softer plastic, so it is best to wash them before painting and to apply a good primer so that the paint holds well. Bring out the desert uniforms with sand and khaki shades and with a light dry brush. Smaller accessories can be bonded with super glue.

Who the model is for

  • Builders of dioramas of the fighting in North Africa
  • Wargamers and collectors of small-scale figures
  • Modelers adding to their Allied equipment in 1:76
  • Beginners as well as those who remember the classic Airfix kits

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
