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.
We appreciate, that events in Ukraine are very far from the place where you live and in a situation when, until very recently, media portrayed them as a chain of never ending Ukrainian successes, our usual cautiousness and reservations of "all going well" may have seemed annoying or too trivial. Well, reality is far from so. Our people in Kharkov are waking up to the sounds of the "mopeds" like this:

Any of those mopeds can easily send even the best prepared plan down the drain.
However, as it usually happens, the most dangerous are the ones, claiming that they are "friendlies":

One or two key persons drafted into the army like this and our company will go into history.
We'd love to be optimistic but there are things above us and we take that into account when giving you our estimates.
Best regards,
Strelets
Mr. Barrett, you could and should have responded more in kind to the answer you received... however, Strelets gave her the right perspective with which to see the matter. It is not up to me to be a defense lawyer but answering that in the end you reported heard rumors would not have been better? Warm greetings. Marco with friendly intentions.
People of Strelets, and Ukraine
Please know that tens of millions of Americans go to protests against our anti-democratic government every month. We will take back our government at the midterms, and the result will be that we force our short-sighted politicians to support the Ukranian people in their fight for freedom. I try not to get political on this thread, but there are some comments that should not go unnoticed or to be tolerated. Perhaps people who wish to complain about you should take a trip to the front lines over there and stay for two weeks. When all is said and done, these sets that we so passionately collect are toys, representing a toy history of war, but are in no way like the real thing that actual war is. It would be good for us all to remember that. Personally, you have my absolute respect for hanging in there doing what you do, and even improving this hobby by leaps and bounds. That is one way to thumb your nose against pig dictators, whether Russian, Chinese, North Korean, or American. I believe that we can all wait for the next sets, whenever they may come out. Safety and a long life to you and the brave people of Ukraine.
With all due respect, Kabul was abandoned during previous administration.
The fate of Paraguay is the last thing that we wish for Ukraine but it's heading that way at full speed.
