Arabs in skirmish, figures and sprues.
Pretty sharp and real nice skirmishing poses I think.

Friday surprise.

[marc zijp]

Cool.

[Rich W]

They need to get back to making their WSS sets...

[Peter]

And the friday surprise is what? Long Range Desert Patrol?

The figures do indeed seem to be WWII Allied LRDG.

The artillery piece should represent the French WWI 37mm Canon d'infanterie modèle 16 .
A widely used infantry support gun, often manned by US Doughboys as well.

Both previews for future sets, without any specific naming or numbering so far.

Finnish anti-tank squad in winter dress. Sprues and figures.
No expert on the Finnish equipment, but I see some nice poses and quite sharp figures, don’t you think?

[Erich von Manstein]

Friday preview.

French Foreign Legion ?




WWII North Africa

[marc zijp]

No expert on FFL, but the shovel worn at the hip and the long type of bayonet seems to me to be plugged into a berthier rifle and that all indicates probably around WW1?
So most likely, in my opinion, no AWI zouaves e.g. but indeed French foreign Legion.

The Strelets team must be having a field day with the lrdg/Sas//commando/8th army etc. WW2 North-Africa theme!

Where can I preorder those figures?

PS: just notified that the figures of the legion don't have a right hand! Spooky!

The FFL commonly amputated the hands as punishment for indecorous behavior.

[Ben Bob]

Maybe they are Jedi Legionaries

[Erich von Manstein]

Friday preview, this time WWII Japanese artillery or support weapons crew.

[marc zijp]

Some teasers. And probably you all know by now that the shipment with the new lot is stuck in Dover. So more patience is needed. But we the 1/72 fans have that in abundance so not too much of a problem.

[Erich von Manstein]

Friday preview, WSS again.

[Santi Pérez]

They seem French mounted musketeers, if you look at the cross on their breasts, don't they?
