atlantic was and still is very fascinating

I’m smiling at the thought of the operation of the quad AA/trailer combo. I’m thinking that the trailer/farm cart would have literally fallen apart on firing or at least possibly the recoil would mean that they ended up a half mile from where they started😂 I’m new to your channel (so glad I found it), and the Atlantic brand, it’s strange how the boxing suggests a level of “quality” but the sculpting/accuracy is more akin to the content of the of the little green men play sets that you can buy at the seaside.

Different colors in this plastic depends largely on the concentrations of the inorganic stiffeners added to the plastic. Early 1960's plastics could contain all sorts of harmful elements like Cadmium, Chromium, Arsenic and so on. By the later 19070's toy manufacturers were beginning to reduce or eliminate the levels of these additives and find new ways to maintain plastic flow into the molds. That meant using more Calcium, Aluminum, Titanium, Zinc and Barium. I can estimate the time of manufacture date of propylene plastics by their trace element concentrations from these additives. Cheers, and yes I am a chemist.

Thank you for taking the soldiers off the sprue and assembling the set.

I love this channel. These toys are amazing. I don’t need to buy them any more because I just watch your videos.

Fascinating video. Thank you. As a child Atlantic were a definite avoid. Somehow, they were just not good enough for the Wargaming Table. So, it is good to see what we were not spending our pennies on.

GOOD VIDEO SIR,ALL MY BROTHER AND I COLLECTED THE ATLANTIC IN 1/72 SCALE. THE ONLY 1/32 SCALE WE GOT WAS CUSTER 7TH. CAV. TAKE CARE

Another remarkable video. I believe I've said it earlier in one of your other videos or shorts - you should start a museum. I wonder how many other collectors could start one... Overall quality reminds me why I had chosen for Airfix and a few Matchbox figure sets instead of Atlantic. I cannot remember how widespread Atlantic's availability was in the Netherlands in the 1970s, though it seems Atlantic had more additional soft plastic guns than Airfix had. Btw way the English subtitles say ''Deutsche Africa Corps"' which should be Deutsche Afrika Korps of course.

Interesting color variants...I remember the panzergranadier to be blue Similar to the 7 cavalry ones ...

I had a lot of fun with these, mostly 1:72 scale as a kid. My favorites were the Atlantic wargames. Great memories!

Как всегда, шикарное видео, спасибо огромное!!! Наборы супер!!!

As a young adult I only bought a couple of the small scale sets as I found them a bit weird. Had loads of Airfix sets as they were much better. I really want to see what the vehicles look like as I dont remember seeing them for sale.

Cool stuff 😎

I love all of them more vids. The artillery and mortar unit is my favourite ❤❤

thank you for your videos

Congratulatios! Atlantic is very nice!

I had those AA set in the smaller scale

I need to teach back what I had ...for sure the aircraft carrier

As a child of the 70s I just had Airfix and matchbox. Don't remember these at all. Did they release in the UK?

The anti air thing in green could be a capture one

Take the wheels off the cart for the base of the AA gun 😂

Stay young at heart

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo,además conozco la historia contada por el mismo escultor que trabajaba para la antigua esci y italeri y es un genio luego ha creado figuras de las mejores del mundo pero solo hizo lo que le mandaba el director comercial de atlantic en esa epoca que siempre se compara con airfix que es una fábrica de maquetas y el elemento histórico siempre fue por delante,sin embargo atlantic su propósito era crear soldados de"juguete" no se pretendía purismo en los detalles históricos uniformologia etc,conservo una foto del escultor en su taller en Italia.

Has there never been decals with the sets?

Did the molds survive?

Would you be available to do a livestream on my show? Trying to get a bunch of toy soldier guys together for 19 June

Great fun as always. I've got anti aircraft gun in dark blue. A school friend gave me it back in 70s. I didn't realise what it was or who made it till I started watching you ! Going to keep look out for atlantic. Their sets look really cool. Keep filming 🎥.

You could probably slap the flak gun on the CTS or Airfix Panzer IV body after removing the turret for a more authentic look

Do you have any sets of soldiers from a company called "expeditionary force"? Sometimes called "x force". They are very detailed and even the boxes are cool. For example the ww2 us infantry box is a olive green with a white star. And the Japanese sets have a rising sun flag with katana sword. I have a good many sets from this company and use them for a ww2 combat strategy game me and a few friends play. Some pieces require using glue though. The heads and arms are separated and require being glued in place but you can mix up the different heads and limbs and weapons so that most soldiers will be unique instead of all looking exactly the same. You would probably enjoy the sets from that company. They are around 20-30 dollars for a squad sized unit,sets vary from 9 to 12 soldiers in each set. I'm not sure what other time periods or wars they make sets of but they have many nice ww2 sets. They are all 1/32 scale. Also does anyone know a company that makes US and North Korean/Chinese commie figures in 1/32 scale? Plenty of ww2 era figures around but I want to put together some sets from the Korean war era 1950-1953.

Have you got the original Airfix Africa Corp with the 20mm/37mm cannon and crew on 1/72 scale

Me pregunto por que a veces atlantic hacia vehiculos tan esotericos o de fantasia como el antiaereo-bañera aleman a remolque o el blindado Nato que es el shado copia de dinky con una radio del tamaño de una catedral sin embargo el sherman y el t34 /85 eran correctos de escala pequeña y el ontos no estaba mal ysin embargo a veces te sorprendian desagradablemente ,el lanza 13:42 misiles pasa la prueba por parecerse a un rapier ingles.

Would you reupload your old Airfix review?

They should be painted.

Hello from Germany I have around 50 1/72 Figures boxen. Are you maybe interested ?

From George. How about a multy coloured version blue and green. It seems that was sometimes the way. While I had some Airfix soldiers I did also collect lots of the copied versions of German infantry that were green. But they were found easier at local shop in a plastic bag. Also cheaper priced. I'd buy them from a chemist strangely. Places close to where I lived in 1970. Others would be in news agency.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

I would very much like to know where all these items i can find to buy some. That is an incredibly fantastic collection. I'm amazed by this. I had nothing as close to that type of collection ever in toy soldiers.definetly hardly a vehicle or weaponry.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
