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.
I know I’m very late to the game here, but after reading a book recently I decided to start a WWII North Africa project. Naturally the Strelets sets were the way to go and I started out by buying all four of the Italian sets, which just arrived today, and wow! They are fantastic. The detail and anatomy is incredible. I could not be more impressed. Great poses too, especially with the Patrol set. These will be a joy to paint. I haven’t been wowed quite like this in a while so I felt like I had to share, and encourage anyone that’s been on the fence about these sets to get them. I don’t think the PSR pictures do them justice. Anyways, I hope this sculptor is still working on new sets, and I wouldn’t hate to see the Italian faction gain some additional sets in the future.
Those sets are great, as are the DAK, 8th Army Australians and French Foreign Legion sets. Strelets has made a nice contribution to the WW2 Desert War theater, especially with the FFL sets.
It is just so regrettable that the FFL set is no longer available anywhere. The heavy weapons sets I have spotted recently, but the other set is sold out everywhere.
Strelets' contribution to WW2 North African campaign is fabulous and we will always be grateful for it. Hopefully in the near future Strelets consider doing some Italian Colonial troops and Vichy troops in North Africa and in the Levant.
Totally agree, Asher. North Africa has such a rich history. This set below (Moroccan Goumiers) are a super well sculpted and must have set for North Africa. I've bought several to man my U.S. Half Tracks and fight forts in the desert. Very fun!
