WWI US Army


Old Airfix vs new HaT WWI Canadian Infantry.



The Canadian infantry are essentially British infantry. The US Army also used British uniforms, kit and weapons, so I use the Canadians as US Army.



Airfix Americans with Imex / Emhar US Army in tan.



The US Army essentially never did wear the Montana Peak Hat in combat. The Airfix set is essentially US Army in training in France set. The Emhar / Imex set is better but the Airfix set holds up surprisingly well considering its almost 50 years old. The real let down with the Airfix set is the weapons, they are essentially just sticks. Note also how this mans foot sinks into the base.



The weakest figure in the Airfix set is the officer, the Emhar / Imex officer is much better.
