Would Strelets consider making a set for the Russo-Japanese War?

Hi, I think a set of 1:72 Russo-Japanese War figures would make for a great set. So far, this conflict is absent in this scale, creating a high-demand, low-competition market. The only other company that has produced anything about the Russo-Japanese War is the Hungarian company called Hat and they only made a Putilov 76mm M1902 Gun. Thus, it would be nice to have infantry that can be used next to this piece of artillery. I think the Russian infantry should come in dark green plastic and the Japanese infantry should come in a dark blue plastic. Detailed figures and dynamic poses will attract collectors and wargamers alike, providing a highly sought-after and complete Russo-Japanese War experience that only Strelets can deliver. What do you think?

PS Also, we have no dedicated French and Indian War sets either in this scale. So, red British highlanders or red British regulars with white/blue French regulars would be great.

Re: Would Strelets consider making a set for the Russo-Japanese War?

I would love to see Russo - Japanese War sets. Perhaps there could be summer and winter sets with some infantry, cavalry and artillery.

I also strongly support French and Indian War sets too!

Probably too obscure, but Chaco War figures would be welcomed as well.

Re: Would Strelets consider making a set for the Russo-Japanese War?

Yes, I agree! I think restricting the Russo-Japanese war and French & Indian war figures to just summer dress however would allow Strelets to focus on other obscure, diverse historical periods, such as the Fenian raids (1866), which is notably absent in this hobby.

100% behind Russo-Japanese War figures.

Re: Would Strelets consider making a set for the Russo-Japanese War?

I absolutely support the idea of making Russo-Japanese war 1904-05. This item is not presented in 1/72 scale at all and figures from the First World War do not necessarily have to fit here.It is a great subject and and with the significant improvements in the quality of the Strelets figures it will be a real hit on the 1/72 scale market !
