SP, hope you don't mind if I jump in here??? Does look like a nice set. Wish they'd went with the later style uniform so I could use them in a Korea diorama without modifing them but still they're a welcome addition to the ranks of inexpensive plastic figures- a whole box is cheaper than one resin guy. 

Edit: Corrected by SP, did they remove the crossed-out feature?

PJ, I dont know what happened. I lifted the image URL direcly off of Miniart's website. Never had a problem doing that in the past. Perhaps it's part of our new "upgrade's" continuing glitches? The image shows up fine on the home desktop but not on my laptop. Go figure. That seems to happen a lot these days.

Gamera, thanks for the fix. Actually most of those figures are in  late war uniforms and would work for Korea as well as WWII. Only the guy with the canvas leggings would not work in a Korean setting.

You're right there SP, dunno why I was fixiated on that one guy. I'd swear it's been one of those weeks. I think that's how I know I'm getting old when everyday is one of those days...

I'm going to have to add this one to the que of figures I have yet to paint. That is a lovely looking set of figures.  :)

Wow! Those are really cool to have! So many possibilities using those in a diorama.

Hello Stik!

The set is really nice. I think I might try to change those uniforms and use the figs in a Vietnam setting - the poses are really great. As for the problems with the picture link, it's not a forums problem - it's that the server the picture is on doesn't allow to link to this picture from outside - so it's a setting of the miniart's server. Now let's see where we can buy this set - have a nice day!
