ScuzzBlog: Diaries September 2022 Entry 17th September 2022: Post 1: Airfix H0-00 - Gun Emplacement Assault Set. Airfix H0-00 - Gun Emplacement Assault Set. Last of the collectors kids stuff for now, but keep tuned for more Airfix kits and pieces in the future. Today I feature a rare set, which I so had as a kid. I don't recall all the parts and I certainly didn't have this in the box. My guess is that this was another bartered item. In the day we would swap some of our toys with other kids. Also the schools were very keen on bring and buy sales and jumble sales so I may have just had the emplacement platform. Mine wasn't painted. This was an amazing find on Ebay. Over fifty years old and what were the chances of getting one after all these years, and in the box with all the bits and pieces. I haven't checked over all the individual parts yet and so have not cleaned thoroughly. My guess is there are one or two antenna missing. [ holes in roof of the one building ] Man if I had had the whole set I'd never have gone to school. The set includes both sets of soldiers and some pretty snazzy vehicles. The detailing is pretty realistic on the tanks I have to say. I just love the trench walkways and sunken buildings. The kinda stuff dreams are made of when setting up soldiers in a battle scenario. Basically, soldiers died when your missiles hit them, and being lower and hidden made it difficult to down. Buildings could be destroyed but that involved several hits. The trick was to try and hide your soldiers so as to not be seen. Look at me giving away tips on soldier battles after all these years. All my soldiers had a red paint splodge on the base and my brother had a green splodge. Otherwise we would be arguing all day long on whose soldiers were whose. We also had Airfix aeroplanes and fired missiles at each others. My brother had a Lancaster bomber and cus his had lots of projecting parts I was always able to smash his plane to pieces. I had a Junkers 88 and there was literally nothing you could break off. We were pretty destructive, my brother and I. But then we always had a a whole bag of fun. He once threw me through an upstairs window. I smashed all the glass and was saved from falling by grabbing the curtains. When My mom came up, Andrew and I just pretended to be asleep. In her whole life it's the only time I had ever heard my mom swear. When My dad got in from the pub he started to shout at us and then just burst out laughing. I digress. That was that then. More soldier fun in the future. Airfix H0-00 - Gun Emplacement Assault Set.
