Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
These figures were designed by Preiser, a leading manufacturer of figures in nearly every scale, mostly for model trains. Preiser also offers many sets of German soldiers in 1/72 – but not the ones from the Revell box. Maybe there are modelers who especially want them, because they match the other 1/72 Preiser Germans?
Its not a difficult set to find and it seems to be in every hobby shop at a decent or at least standard price. Airfix second edition Germans are twenty years older and they still sells.
What I like are the Airfix first edition Germans. I wonder if the molds still exist? Their smaller size, lack of detail and oversized helmets had a certain charm.
As far as the Hollywood German set goes, I think that ESCI's is the best. Oddly I never got it in Grey
