Re: Early WWII Americans

I've ordered my Early WWII Americans. I intend painting the chaps with rifles and bayonets as Filipinos. I'm converting the prone rifleman into a prone Lewis gunner.

Lovely looking figures....can't wait to get them into action!!

Cheers,
Andrew

PSR has an image up now in the "Awaiting review" section, so the review itself cannot be far.

Re: Early WWII Americans

I've just received The WWII early American soldiers (Ref M105) and the Japanese imperial airborne troops (ref M104) and I have to say that I'm very happy with the high level of details, just superb !!!

they can mix with any other 1/72 set, Strelets really improved and has moved to another level very close to the top ! Those figures can't be considered "Chunky" anymore. Only a very small amount of details can be considered slightly over sized but it's also more easy to paint like this, and less prone to brake or bend. For me it's all good now !

I also hope that you will keep the same plastic quality which is among the best to my taste, easy to cut or glue if needed.

Many thanks Strelets, You're now on my shopping list for many others boxes and of course I'm waiting for the US Navy set !

Now that I have that set in my hands as well I can happily confirm Thierry's evaluation. This is another example of how much Strelets have improved their sculpting. I may add the figures are nearly flash free and the only production blemish is one rifle that is atteched to the sprue in a way making it impossible to cast without a kink.

Strelets have always amazed with originality but since many of their earlier figures did not mix well with others I have stayed clear of buying many sets, something that is definitely changing now!
