Re: To Strelets

Strelets
Dear GarrisonClay,

are they any different to these ones?

Dear Strelets,

When I took a second look at your Boer War British on PSR, I can see why you ask the question, because the Box Art for your set looks very similar to the Osprey cover, but the Box Art is in fact not correct for the contents of the box. Unfortunately there are many cases for most companies where the Box Art and the contents are very different, and can be disappointing for Collectors.

Rest assured, you do not have anything like the Osprey cover.

Thank you, again!

Dear Strelets,

I received my Amazon Osprey book and the history of the British Soldiers on the cover is very interesting. Please be patient and give me some time to put together (hopefully) a digital package to send you.

In the mean time, know I'm on it, and you guys please have a great weekend!

Re: Lawrence of Arabia: Concerning Color...

I think maybe terracotta because your chances of finding Airfix's original Arabs in white; Not very good! Your chances of finding Hat's re-issue in rust; Much better! Just a thought.

Bert, FYI - The Airfix/HaT Arabs/Bedouins were last reissued in a very nice Medium Tan color. I bought mine w/o boxes so I can't describe what design to look for. Check with your favorite sellers.

So far, I've found them (over my lifetime) in White, Pale Yellow, Greenish-Tan, Rust, Medium Tan. The Rust and Medium Tan are reissues and I was able to get an ample number at a reasonable price.

I like the idea best in White, Terracotta and Light Tan for Strelets Arabs. In reality, the Arabs are a colorful group of fighters, so I keep all colors to give them flare on the battle field.
