Love the episode! FYI - the headress the Brits wore is known as a shemagh! Looks like Rommel was using the lip balm I gave him!!
He went to One too many of your parties at the Cottage!!
I still got my Airfix-8th Army, Commando Units, African Korps US Rangers Tanks etc. So glad I kept them. When I get a new place I will email you a picture or two. The African Korps of that era were excellent
I still love it all to this day! DEETAIL, AIRFIX and MATCHBOX Forever!

Tally ho, old chaps!
TALLY HO!!!!!

Thanks George!
I hope you saw the battles?!
Great video, Christian! The Matchbox 1/32 Afrika Korps figures are still among my very favorites! And, actually, the Atlantic Afrika Korps figures are unique and also definitely worth collecting.
I've banished the Atlantic A-Korp from my collection. But YES, I still love my Matchbox!
Private Poltroon :Blimey!”hit and run” tactics!?I say sir can we just go straight to the run part?!i will lead sir!

I dig the episode and really like the 21st Century Italian conversions.
Thanks! Only a few conversions and painted the Helmets.
Awesome. Love the vehicles especially the SAS/LRDG ones. Go shoot up some Axis airfields General! I have the Armoured Car/ Bran Gun Carrier.
A Classic!!
Matchbox Africa korps one best set's out there blend in well Airfix Africa Korps watching this episode got bug to watch the old Rock Hudson War movie Tobruk
Did THAT, really give you the Bug?! If it did, I'm honored!
I really like the battle sequences xD
Thanks Man. LOW TECK!

@@rwcowell Coming up next, Canadians Enter Germany!
Yeeeee boi
The BOI is BACK!!
Colonel:i have decided to come out as a conshie!
Whats that?
@@ThePlasticGeneral conscientious objector!
@@carausiuscaesar5672 I Object to No Good Wars to make toy soldiers for!!!
"Desert Rats" were Australian 9th Infantry Division defending Tobruk from Rommel & DAK. SAS was a totally different British Commando unit created, otganized, trained and deployed by Major, Later Colonel, David Sterling to attack and destroy Luftwaffe airfields and fuel assets. Very different missions, an nationalities....
Holy Shit!! THAT is major!! Good to know. I made that mistake to Test Your knowledge!!
@@ThePlasticGeneral You had the SAS and the Long Range Desert Group which used Chevrolet trucks instead of jeeps. Yes the Desert Rats was the Aussie infantry during the siege of Tobruk. Don't forget the German Brandenburger special forces which also conducted raids upon the Eighth Army units. Italeri has a Commando Car kit which is a jeep used by the SAS with Vickers machine guns and extra equipment and Italeri also has LRDG Chevy truck kits.
@@jamesmaddox8261 HA!!! You Passed my Test!!! True, I jumbled the whole thing together, but don't tell that to the History Department at ATLANTIC TOYS! They think I'm Spot On! I know about the Vehicle kits but they'll be in 1:35. "Maybe" the Chevy, but know I know where to buy one in 1:32.
No the 9th defended tobruk but the desert rats were the British 8th army
Great show. However the Desert Rat's were not the Special Air Service, but the Australian Army within the British 8th Army.
Splendid video!just outstanding war horror!i hid under my bed til it was over in a fetal position crying “mommy!”
Hiding is the safest solution!
Another rivetting show ! I hear Alec Baldwin is looking for a ' Weapons Expert ' that knows which end the bullets come out. Maybe you could help him out ?
Hell, I'm the one who lent him the Gun!!
@@ThePlasticGeneral The Plastic General is a better actor than any of the Baldwins!
@@bushwhacked1835 But they have better Aim than I have!
@@ThePlasticGeneral Yeh... I do notice you tend to spray it about a little!
@@bushwhacked1835 Action before Safety is my motto!
How did you get a jeep inside an appartment!?
I drove it up a ramp and into my Toy Room! CARDBOARD!!!
I’d like you to do more stuff other than ww2, like how you did with the Crimean war, and do something like ww1 or the Napolenic Wars.
That means I would have to start also collecting Crimean War figures and Uniforms! $$$$$$$$$$
I am planning to eventually branch off into other periods, but keep that a secret.
@@ThePlasticGeneral I'm happy with WW2!
@@bushwhacked1835 Thank God! You'll see!
@@ThePlasticGeneral How about World War II vehicles used in conflicts after world war 2
Great figures, any chance you have the conte British paras do an Arnhem show
Yes I do and will eventually get around to it for sure! Japanese Paratroopers are Next!

It's a shame Airfix and Matchbox used to be top boy back in the 70s. They covered every aspect of the war especially in the desert. Sadly they have gone downhill.
That was their problem, they didn't cover Enough!! Well, we have MARS now!
Duce!Duce!Duce!
Only the DUCE can save you!!
It says 3 Comments, where are they?!
Aw Da! Tovaritsch Stalin would smirk The Truth Comrade!Da! But first you fight Beria and Kruschev in fight at dinner table! - Stalin’s dinner parties were notorious for this while Stalin roared with laughter-then you fight Zhukov!HaHaHa!
Yes, Stalin was an A-Hole.
And with Patton he would smack and slap any quivering soldiers who would not fight!G…damn. cowards!
Ha! True!! He'd be a fun interview!
@@ThePlasticGeneral aye but wear a helmet!
@@carausiuscaesar5672 1OO% for sure!
how do I order from ricks world
Look him up on FB.
Love your channel but the Desert Rats and the SAS are two different things.
Yes my dad would have been annoyed , He was eighth army..’desert rat’….not SAS….
Love the figures but hate the presenters stupidity..🤭👵
Even the Plastic General fucks up!!!
@@madlenellul3430 I Agree! !
@@ThePlasticGeneral Okay..I’m sorry..Please take care..mebbe your presentations are…oh dear..cute!!…👵
@@madlenellul3430 Never rely on the Plastic general Toy Soldier Show for hardcore History Facts! Quite often I come up short!
Next episode make a Vietnamese war
The Plastic General only dies 1:32 WWII. BUT, anything is possible?
Aye WW Two is a meaty topic but i ask ye all of all ye the WW Two Leaders who would ye want one chance to meet man tae man who would ye chose to meet for a chinwag?
For me I would choose the real winner of WWTwo namely Prime Minister McKenzie King of Canada.
UNDER OATH, having Truthful interviews with Hitler, Stalin & Gen. Patton.
@@ThePlasticGeneral Aye so what would your first question be to each one?
@@carausiuscaesar5672 Joe Rogan format, for about 3 hours each, with NO LYING!
"The desert rats" that was the 8th british army. SAS was the Long Range Desert Patrol.
I was testing you knowledge!!
Desserd rats were the brit 8 th army not the sas
Great subject area. The SAS LRDG were the pioneers of modern day special forces. Great looking conversions. Can you tell me about the green motorcycle with a sidecar that was briefly shown starting around 55 sec into the video? It's in the slight upper right of screen with a Britains Deetail driver sitting on the sidecar. Also what type of vehicle was in the Italian defense group that was the first to be blown up, around 14:00 min into the video? I'm not referring to the sahariana. It looked more like some desert staff vehicle or truck. Just curious what it was. But as always Christian, a great episode full of cool action and hearty chuckles. Cheers!
The Motorcycle with Sidecar was some 1:32 motorcycle from Britain's. I think it was WWI British. But I had to fix and paint it to make it look military. The staff Car is a German HORCH Staff Car, a 1/35 ITALERI Kit that just so happens to be accidently oversized making it 1:32. There's a 1:32 Easter egg for you!
@@ThePlasticGeneral Thanks for sharing that, Chris. Cheers!
