I had the big yellow kite and submarine too. Saw it on Blue Peter how to make rank insignia for action men. Did they. Anyway, figure built.  |

Armorguy, it’s air brushed and Paul, it is Lifecolor. The box shows you very distinct colours though in reality, they are all very similar.  Used Tamiya khaki and khaki drab and the two greener colours from the set to paint the spare magazine pouch.  Think I have achieved a good cloth bag rendition. |
