KS as a product code was the first incarnation of Kamley Industrial as they would be registered in the early 1980's
and ran along-side the Kositoy brand
of the same group, actually KS seems
(as a generic) to have pre-dated Kositoy,
but this set is a later addition to the range I feel, purely from the graphics
and the fact that it contains copies of figures Airfix only released in 1974?
Only three of the figures are taken exclusively
from the 2nd version Airfix 8th Army set; the mine clearer, the MG spotter and
the chap running with a Sten-gun, the rest having been available as scale-downs
from the Airfix 1:32nd scale set for
some years and some of Kamley's
competitors had been doing just that, however the bases suggest all were copied
from the newer smaller set from Haldane Place.
I have a whole bunch of loose ones (in
storage!) and I may have other colours, but I can't remember which (or if) so
we'll leave it with these few who have come-in recently in green, and the
bagged sandy ones!
Now known to be brand/brand-mark/s of Kwong Shing - added to tags.

But is it Giant?
No.
