U.S. Military Uniforms for the 21st Century for Global Conflicts
I thought this to be an interesting topic, especially for those of the forum members who like to paint their collections. Although not so many sets for today's conflicts, there are more and more than before. The Taiwanese toy soldier company has many nationalities modern armies and IS (ISIS) has been added to their futures list.
So, when we have some time to spend on free things, was thinking others might find this interesting, and I for one, would love to hear everyone's opinions about this topic in their home countries. Hope you find interesting and Strelets lets us burn a little energy on something different to let you guys have a break too! Link"

What Taiwanese toy soldier company?
Caesar
aka Miniknight
Taipe, Taiwan
Check out PSR's Caesar's Sets they've covered and futures listed.
Just start at the top and go carefully through each section.
The Modern Armies are all throughout the long lists.

Not being negative, but rather observant. In regards to past experience, they just take a long time or never come through. Never got my Spanish American War, or Navy SEALS.

Yeah, over the years I've written them at least 3 times requesting Span-Am War sets. Always replied and said they would pass the request. But no action. Doesn't matter to me since they make everything in one color - dark gray. Maybe someday we could convince Strelets to make some Span-War sets. So many great uniforms including Cubans and Philippinos!
On the other hand, their Conquistadores teaser pictures had a kneeling musketeer. But the set for sales didn't. They sold me some separately, but the color was an awful orange.
I have all of their WWII German sets (multiples) and am in awe of them. Very nice. They didn't design their own. I mentioned in an earlier thread they are all copies of Tamiya and other larger scale sets. Can't complain because now we have 1/72 figureines in a nice soft plastic and all the same poses as larger scale figurines. And far superior to the MARX figures of either scale.
And Strelets figures blend in perfectly. Their sets have 4 sprews so when I needed officers, I bought thier "Police Battalion" and "Stalingrad" sets especially for the Officers. 4 boxes each and I've got 32 Officers that match perfectly plus add more figures!
