From my point of view, well done. The British patrol looks like from the Dunkerque movie.

They are really good Steve.

Sorry to nitpick but these are definitely not BEF. The Sten wasn't designed until after the Battle of France had been lost and No. 4 rifles were extremely rare in 1940. Also the BEF typically wore respirator haversacks on their chests.

Thanks Chris

I am not an expert by any means, and help is always welcome ;)

The Tamiya set were an exercise in painting but with the GB and an M4 Sherman build it has become more of an interest now. :D

I have since found out that the bayonets and webbing were wrong too, but They all turned out OK and they were popped on a static grass base and given to my nephew.

I have another set and have a selection of hornet heads with the later Mk III helmet?

If I change the bayonet to a shorter one they should be more in line with a post '43 build?

Its always good to get feedback and always taken positively too.

Thanks again Chris :D

Regards

Nice job Steve! :D
Now that I have overcome my horrible fear of heads ( :lol: ) I can really appreciate the sheer work that goes into figures :o .


Best regards
