Greg’s Email on his painted Hing Fat figures.
Here are some pictures of the Hing Fat figures painted in colors that occur in nature. The Nuclear Yellow-Green of the ‘Chinese’ is now olive drab. The Italians are now grey. Coming: Khaki French and soviets in a green to match the CTS Airfix recasts. Note that I added the cockerel feather adornment on the 4 poses of Italians that lacked it.
The first picture is the Chinese and the second photo is the Italians Greg painted.
The second pic is of the Italians, not French. I hope no one can tell which ones got the plumage added by me.

Sorry about that, I have corrected the comment and placed your latest photos for everyone to see.
These figures are different enough to make them a must!
I’m totally IN!
How again did you paint these?
I used regular off the shelf Rustoleum to paint the Italians. The former Chinese are painted with Model Masters OD. I recommend that on the weapon barrels you brush a little contact cement as a primer coat. The glue stays flexible and so does the paint. Before painting these guys were a horrible Kelly green (Italians) and fluorescent yellow (Chinese/Soviets).
Please one more time, where can these figures be purchased?

Toy Soldier Depot has them but he is already out of stock on some items. If we hear of anyone else getting we will post them.
