Re: RCW sets

Can only agree, they're very nice sculpts and some partisans would be great.

Only slight criticisms of the Red sets are that I wish more of the figures were wearing budenovkas, like the original masters, as it's a distinctive hat difficult to model whereas the peaked cap can be found in lots of other sets already (upside is the latter can be used for non-Red forces and WW1 Russians too). Also quite a few figures don't have a bayonet attached although my reading suggests this was pretty much a permanent fixture as no scabbard was issued in Russian armies of the time.

Re: RCW sets - Reviews now up on PSR

In general, good ratings for the sets on PSR and fair reviews I think:

No mention of what the LMG is in the summer set - a French-made Chauchat? On the headgear of the winter set I would have actually preferred less variety and more pointy hats!
