"Thanks to the kind donation of some unpainted Airfix figures by Mark, of the ManofTin Blog, have just completed my third battalion of Chinese Nationalist infantry. I'm looking forward to staging my first wargame set in the 2nd Sino-Japanese War.

The figures are mainly my conversions of Airfix Japanese, having been given German Afrika Korps fatigue hats and helmets and British 8th Army Tommy helmets. When it came to painting the uniforms, decided this third battalion should have shades of khaki, as their distinction. The Chinese adopted a several seasonal uniforms, but all of these came in at least three colours. And if that was not enough, issues then arose in producing a uniform dye, and coupled with fading, this increased further the range of potential colours. I have one battalion in their original 'grass green' issue, another in the popular bright blue, and the third has been given a range of khaki shades. (Distinct battalions will help me in working out game casualties.)…"

Converting Airfix 54 mm figures is an interesting idea. I didn't even realize they were still available.
