It is unfortunate (for this Blog) that some of the stuff which would be [is!] due to appear here ended-up in storage, among which were all the Guards and their forts/sets (most already on the home Blog though), all the
Giant and
Giant-like ancient and medieval forts (some on the Home Blog) and loose (apart from the few on the
Roman Page some of the chariots and the Viking ships) and all the loose
Matchbox and
Airifx piracies; I do have the mint bagged stuff here, so we can visit some of that in good time.
The
Blue Box is the opposite, with the loose stuff here and all the sets, cards and boxes in storage! Also I do have all the
Britains/Crescent combat figures (loose and carded/bagged) here so we will finish what we started over on the
Home Blog, along with 90% of the hollow-horsed Cowboys & Indians, so - with the
Airfix exceptions - they will star to start with.
So this is just a brief shot from a scan of old photo's never used in the
1-Inch Warrior magazine days, showing four of the
Wing Lung copies of
Airfix 1:32nd scale (54mm) figures downscaled to 30mm (and now in storage), so you can compare them with the Modern I and Modern II sets I have posted (two posts immediately below/'previous posts'). There are Cowboys as well, equally distinctive and obviously we will look at them all here in time.
Both Indians and cowboys only come as foot figures, no horses or accessories, and they are marked boldly on the base "HONG KONG" either in-line or up-and-under. This base-mark is the same for all three scales
Wing Lung issued. Both this and the next image are a bit crude, but they give the post a bit of substance!
Wing Lung sold them in header-carded bags on the runner ('sprue') which was of the tree design and you may be more familiar with their larger 45/50mm copies of
Matchbox British and
US troops, or in about 18mm:
Airfix German Infantry, German Para's and
Matchbox US. The logo's are cropped-out of much larger evilBay images, so they've been a bit pixilated!

But is it Giant?
Nooooo.
