It was the British 8th Army for North Africa. <br /><br />Next I was back at the store and got the other set the DAK with an 88mm gun and a heavy halftrack to pull it. It took quite a few days of lunch money.<br /><br />It was a year later I found someone selling the boxed troops separately from model tanks or planes. At that moment they were 69 cents a box.<br /><br />Later on I noticed that Airfix resculpted those, so the ones I had were the older types. All gone now and too bad. That was how I found out about the whole vast hobby originally.mekelnborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269195057608159822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-47303285546793939512011-02-21T14:03:12.596+00:002011-02-21T14:03:12.596+00:00No, No, No Fran, in English it's German Africa...No, No, No Fran, in English it's German Africa Corps, in German it's Deutsche Afrika Korps!!
