  Britains  Deetail British Infantry.  
Released in 1973 as a set of six, withdrawn in 1989. The original first series were made in a stained paint finish, with the later series being produced in a moulded plastic colour.    
  Britains  Deetail German Infantry.   
  

Two series of standard german infantry Wehrmacht were produced by Britains. The first series was released in 1971 seeing them standing on yellow/brown bases, 1974 onwards saw them fixed to the familiar green base. With the addition of 6 new figures in 1977 (second series) the total poses numbered 12. Both series remained in production until 1989. A mortar and crew were  produced in 1973 and deleted in late 1980’s. The second series were issued to replace the Britains Japanese infantry figures, which themselves had been deleted in 1976.

Of all the poses the most rare and sought after seem to be the kneeling radio operator, flamethrower and the mortar crew. All the range were originally produced with the wermacht insignia stickers on their helmets.                        (please feel free to cut and copy these insignia, and leave any relevant gratitude or links to www.lostlegionminiatures.co.uk).

Britains Deetail Afrika Korps  
Afrika Korps (released 1976 withdrawn 1980)

In the 1980's some of the Deetail Mouldings were shipped to Argentina. There they were owned by the Crovetto family who produced the British 8th Army, Afrika Korps. Some texturing of the moulds took place. The most obvious change was the introduction of plastic as opposed to mazak bases. These figures were produced under the banner of Britains Herald and were unique to Argentina.
