Red 5: Luke Skywalker and R2D2






Red Five was Luke Skywalker's callsign in the Battle of Yavin, during the Galactic Civil War as a member of Red Squadron. The squadron was an Alliance Starfighter Corps X-wing squadron active during the Galactic Civil War and gained the distinction of being the unit that brought down the Death Star's defenses as well as ultimately destroying the station itself. But the victory came at a price. Almost the entire squadron was destroyed, except for two X-wings flown by Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles.  -- paraphrased from Wookiepedia

The Airfix range of military figures is one of the iconic brands of plastic toy soldiers I grew up with. Airfix is a UK manufacturer of plastic scale model kits founded in 1939 by Humbrol and currently owned by Hornby, a famous UK model railway brand. This is the latest reissue of their classic Deutsche Afrika Korps, the German expeditionary force in Libya and Tunisia during the North African Campaign of World War II. The box contains 14 figures.
