Britains Deetail Battlefield Trees

Before I get further behind than I am, my last Britains Deetail post was back in November 2024 and back then I said that once I got some battlefield trees in, I would post photos. Welll, here they is! I got these in late November 2024, took the photos and promptly (and predictably) got sidetracked! These two trees were included in a variety of Britains Deetail sets, and unusually, one was 'solid' while the other was 'hollow'. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

Britains Deetail WWII Bombed Buildings Set #4731 (1977)

I can't believe I waited this long to post these photos taken back in 2018. As a fatter-of-mact, these were taken before I started keeping track of my photos in log books, so that means I don't have any dimensions recorded for the buildings. Oh well. This 'BOMBED BUILDINGS SET' is one of two that Britains made for their Deetail line. The larger companion is called 'BATTLEGROUND' (set No. 4715) and is comprised of everything you see here BUT had a large vacu-formed base with road, bunker, sandbag emplacements, and a total of ten figures. I do not have that set unfortunately. However, this downsized version is quite nice all by itself. It consists of:

-two bombed out buildings in thinly molded hard plastic (much like Airfix buildings from that era)

-two fence pieces

-one sign

-one traffic light

-two figures

This will be the last Britains Deetail WWII post for a while. Except for the Jeep, motorcycle, and recoilless rifle team, I have no Britains Deetail U.S. Infantry figures! Now how the heck did that happen!? Also, as stated in a previous post, I've stopped collecting Pacific Theater of War stuff years ago so there won't be any PTO toys posted - at least for now. In the meantime, we'll look at some other WWII stuff.

Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Britains Deetail WWII British Mortar Team #7338 (1974)

This is a wonderful companion piece to the British Infantry figures. Britains made mortar teams for the British, Germans, and Japanese, but the American team had a recoilless rifle instead of a mortar. This is a firing toy (via a spring loaded mechanism) and would have come with several shells which are missing from mine, as is the box. Also, you'll notice that their uniforms don't have the wash effect on them like the figures shown in the past six days. Some people like the wash effect, while others don't, but I don't care one way or the other.  Enjoy! Opa Fritz
