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.
This words are enough, that my crossed fingers are getting a bit loose and my waiting in hope feels like I'm almost half there. Thank you Strelets for delving further into 'The Last of the Gentlemen's Wars'.
Great to have a Boer war set of infantry but I assume that this is Slade Wallace equipment and that, at this scale, there's no discernable difference between a Lee Enfield of the period and a Lee Metford?
Assuming so, this is a great set of infantry for the North West Frontier, and would complement the HaT Indian infantry and Bengal Lancers.
I'd love to see some new Highlanders of this period in due course.

And bring on the Pathans!
The Lee Metford is quite distinct from the Enfield due to the half round fore stock and conventional protruding muzzle vs the full round hand guard and "snub nose" appearance of the L.E.
IMHO this would be quite noticeable at 1/72, given the superlative standard of sculpting in these new figures
Brilliant figures and yes cant wait for boers as well ,cavalry, artillery,civilians,medical,pack animals,in English as well ,as native and allied contingents for both sides !!!!!
