Now on general release these plastic British 8th Army are ideal to recreate one of the best-known formations of the British Army during World War II, that fought in the North African and Italian campaigns.
Known as the Desert Rats (1940-43) these 38 hard plastic multipose British or Commonwealth infantry from Perry Miniatures are perfect for the desert war. There are enough to make a platoon comprising of 3 sections plus a HQ section.
Also included in the box are thirty two 20mm circular and four 40mm square bases (for the support teams).
We now have a British 8th Army section in our webstore where you will find lots of associated vehicles as well as the 8th Army paint set put together to give you the core colours you need. Of course, if you’re a fan of the opposition look no further than our Italian and Afrika Korps sections…
Ideal for recreating great desert locales to fight over such as an oasis, these outstanding plastic palm trees come in two sizes: approximately 5 inches tall for the smaller box of five and approximately 7.75 inches tall for the larger box of three.
These plastic models require paint, and may require glue, to complete (not included).
