Airfix and Matchbox Figure Conversions

Airfix WWI British Infantry.  They are donating their heads to be used to make US police officers for the 1918 to 1958 period.

This Matchbox WWII US Army soldier, center, is next to receive a new head like his other two comrades have received.

These Airfix WWII US Army Air Forces figures donated their heads and in turn received the Airfix WWI British Army heads to become Interwar US Army Air Corps men.

These Matchbox WWII US Army troops have been converted to police.  They lost their grenades and helmets.  They got police batons, billy clubs, in return and a Airfix WWI British Army hat.

The Matchbox figure as a police officer, and two with baseball caps as USAAF troops for WWII.

Some of the Airfix WWII USAAF have donated heads to the Matchbox WWII US Infantry so they can now be used as USAAF ground crews doing ground combat.  While uncommon, it was done a few times.  They are also usable for Korea or  Vietnam.

 This venerable Airfix WWII US Army troops have had new heads put on that were taken from the generic civilian figures.  Generally when I do head swaps and figure conversions I try to make use of all the pieces.  I always keep the parts and check there first for usable parts before I cut any new figures.
