hm armed forces

Post by SPEC OPS »

no not a recrutiment drive, but these toys came out this yr, and stumbled across the website:
so of you AM fans may like to look at this, but the figures are apparently 10" tall?! (25cm)

http://www.hmarmedforces.com/

they have some really cool vehicles..

the reason I mention this is because, in my local TJ Hughes I saw, and picked up (but did not buy) a 1/18 scale (3 3/4") eurofighter with pilot, which I'm sure was from this line, but cant seem to find any web links to the damned toy!
The plane was a purple-blue colour, like model kit plastic, but it seemed really cool and cost £20.
They probably sell them at RAF museums etc, but I have got no idea!
If anyone else has seen this and prove I wasn't hallucinating, then please show me a link....

yeah, thats it.
when i bought this i thought it was a harrier jump jet then noticed when i got home.
was positive they had a harrier as well but when i went back to the shop they had sold out.
cool toy and would look great red but i just dont have the room for large toys.

More likely he mistook one big square "Born to Play" multicoloured window-boxed toy aeroplane for the one next to it on the shop shelf.

It would make for a good :AFLogo: custom.
