Yes I remember them at 2 shillings (or 2/6d, maybe) - long time ago. The FFL I painted just now are the Airfix second set, but I actually still have some of the first set, which a relative passed on to me when I was a fairly small child. They were painted, with white kepis and red trousers, which I think is how the box art showed them. I remember being utterly entranced by them. Looking back I guess that was where it all went wrong!
