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.
Great to see another important type of ordnance for the American Civil War Strelets to add to the Whitworth that was the topic of a 'Friday teaser' earlier in the year.
Existing sets only provide Parrotts (not as well modelled as this fine example) and average looking Napoleons and possibly attempts at the 3" ordnance. Set 6032 from Italeri added the mortar (and a gattling gun--not used in the war), but it has been out of production for some time.
Hopefully you plan to produce the Napoleon and 3" ordnance rifle to the same quality as this one, with 20 and 30 pdr Parrotts and siege mortars to follow!
Thanks again for your continued production of interesting, creative and needed sets across a range of periods. Something for everyone and everything for some! :)
Welcome news indeed; we definitely need some good, properly attired (uniformed doesn't seem to apply when the "dogs" are working their guns) cannoneers in other than the typical and bland three or four poses. And please, limit (or eliminate) the officer with field glasses - much overdone. At least have them (if you must) holding the glasses with both hands.
