Almost instant gaming. <br />Vintage 1st generation Airfix (ww2 to French foreign legion etc) remain some of my favourite Airfix figures. Even as a child I preferred the few old ones we had compared to the larger more detailed second Airfix versions then around, which some of my friends thought an odd choice. I still like the small WW2 Japanese Airfix for flexible period and conversion potential They seem the closest small plastic figures in charm and style to 15mm Peter Laing figures I know, so I have picked up the odd bag online enough for future skirmish games. (To be fair Some people don't like Peter Laings figure either). They should work well for Memoir 44. Best wishes to you and your wife, hope she is better soon and more time for gaming returns.
