Has anybody reissued any of the ESCI figure kits ? I seem to think Italeri has used some of the gun crews ( servants) in a couple of their AT guns .
Am looking for the Red Devils Brit Paratroops , loved that kit when it first came out ( mid 70s). Any ideas if they are being reissued or are they lost like so many old favorites?

Jim,

Some of the old ESCI/ERTL figure sets were reissued as Italeri kits and can be found on eBay and online searches.

Regards,

Rich

I too wish these were reissued. I have seen the originals on e-bay, but I do not do e-bay.

Thanks , guys . I guess I'll just keep hoping someone reissues them . ( I also don't shop on ebay ) Really have enough on the shelf to keep me busy for a long time ,but like the old stuff , kind of a nostagia thing . I used the Red Devils and a converted Tamiya Leopard in a " Bridge Too Far " diorama many many years ago and though I;ld give it a second go.
