AIRFIX 1/32nd SCALE TOY SOLDIERS
Alt om drengedrømme i 1970'erne. Tjek hvor mange pakker du selv havde.
Og læs lige samlerens historie.
Jeg har endnu 400+. De ligger pakket ned i nogle store kasser sammen med
westernborge, ridderborge, pak, tank mm. Siden dengang er der kommet en
ordentlig bunke Britains metalbase med. Mest riddere.
