Airfix Romans

As much as it pains me to say it, given that Airfix were such pioneers of modeling, and a fixture of my youth, these are garbage. The molding is very aged and it shows, requiring masses of cleaning up which seems barely worth the effort for what you would end up with. The chariot is passable, but most of the other stuff is not, with scutums that are too small being one of many faults that are readily apparent. If there were no other 1/72nd scale Roman figures available, these would do at a push, but since there are vastly superior sets from several other manufacturers, then it is hard to recommend these at all. If you buy these, I can guarantee you'll be disappointed. Go for Caesar or Strelets stuff instead.
