Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has the figures from any of the following tamiya kits going spare,Churchill,Universal carriers,Comet and Centaur?
Also any spare bereted, beanied or even bare heads would be appreciated.
I hope to use them to build a dio of NZ troops (tamiyas British on patrol figures)along with DML Sherman III in a dio set in Italy in late 43 or early 44.
As many NZ troops didn't particularly like wearing helmets they wore their berets or Beanies(wool hats.
I haven't actually got any of the kits in my hands right now but like to do a bit of forward planning to see how much I might have to spend.
Sorry guys but all I have to trade is 6 unbuilt figures from the Tamiya Russian army assault infantry set
Thanks for the help Andy

Hi Andy
It is great to see you back posting here.
For those who are aware Andy was the former moderator of this forum and actually got it up and running.
He is an extremely top guy, is extremely popular and active in the forums and a talented modeller to boot. I cannot personally speak highly enough about Andy.
He is a poor student at present and I believe he needs our support as a community.
He has recently returned from a "study trip" overseas.
So if you can help him out please do.
Due to my narrow interests of WW2 German Navy and Military I cannot help him this time.
Regards
Sean

Sean,
Thanks for the welcome, I am willing to pay if the parts I need come from kiwis as it is easy enough to transfer funds within NZ.

Gidday Andy,
From Dunedin. Im currently working on putting a crew together for my LRDG Chevy, so I could have a bare head or two to spare in a couple of weeks, once I can get some heads by Hornet.
(Who would have thought it? Trading heads over the internet :-) )

Hi Andy,
Been busy over the last few weeks, so I haven't had much chance to do anything with models.
I now have a Resicast British Tank man with 2 gall oil can (35.459). I intend replacing the head with a bearded one from Hornet - would you be interested in the Resicast head?
