Replica Moulded Classic Heavyweights

I painted these replica moulded heavyweight teams to represent variations of two Subbuteo references. The teams here are New Hearts and Juventus.

The Hearts team was an updated kit that seems to have appeared in limited numbers after the real life team changed their kit. SSG printed 'New Hearts' on the boxes. Other teams had the same treatment, i.e. New Norwich, New Burnley and New Wolves to name three.

The Juventus kit is usually painted as black stripes on a white shirt, so this kit is simply a reversal.

Reference 27  -  New Hearts
Reference 34  -  Juventus (reverse stripe)

More information about variant teams can be found on Peter Upton's site.

The figures are available from Top Spin.
