If Strelets were to do BEF a obvious addition should be the home guard . I’ve had many a discussion at the local model shop on how Airfix never made a set for Dads Army when it’s was on BBC . Mr Buckingham time to campaign for early war sets from Strelets

I'd certainly go for this!
I don't think anyone has made a set of British Home Guard circa 1940 in 1/72. Mars have recently produced a set of German 'Volksturm' for the late war period, but despite recent improvements in their sculpting they couldn't yet manage 'Dad's Army' very well I think. Strelets however are mastering faces and physique to the extent that a squad with a plump, short-ish captain, a taller serjeant, an old corporal and an even older medical orderly (private Godfrey) in the 'command sprue'; and then a platoon in a mix of side-caps and helmets in the other three or four sprues, would certainly be possible. Armament would be mainly rifles, with a Lewis Gun as the platoon 'heavy weapon'.
And...I have a feeling it would sell very well, especially if Strelets also did a good set of BEF/Regular British infantry for 1940.
