Nice review Alan. Are all the bits there if you wanted to equip an infantry figure as a radio man.

Hi Pat,

Yip, only thing you need to add is cable, and for the No 38 a shoulder strap. Making the headphones is fun. I used the No 18 set with my Commandos when I was stocking the boats.

Not a great pic but the one on the end has the No 18 set.

It's an ungainly contraption isn't it. Easy for a sniper to spot too.

Hi Pat,

You're right there, radio operators are always easy to spot, just look for the large antenna,

Reiscast took the No 18 set a stage further by introducing a 2 figure kneeling radio team, officer and signaller, nice set.
