1/72 Czech Master Kits figurines
Posted by mfsob on Friday, January 27, 2006 11:44 AM
I am looking (rather fearfully) at adding the "human element" to some of my 1/72 aircraft and have been eyeing the Czech Master kits on squadron.com. since I could get a number of figures for one price. How are they moulding- and detail-wise? because it's going to be all I can do to paint some of these little guys, let alone detail them!

I have purchased some of the CMK figures in 1/72 and am very please w/the detailing. I haven't had any problems w/the figures. The level of additional detail verys from figure to figure and set to set. I've purchased several of the Helo figures w/LRRP and US Airborne figures. The sets come w/seperate head, hands/arms and in some instances, feet and web gear/weapons/rucksacks. I find the figures to be more sturdy compared to VLS and Goffy. Enjoy

Thanks for the info! Now I just have to screw up my courage and get a set ... but for less than $10, even if they all end up looking like Dracula's Revenge, I'm not out that much money.

I'm just concerened that without an airbrush, I won't have the degree of control I need when putting overall coats of primer and flat on them, and will end up hiding some of the details.

take 3-4 bucks buy some airfix,revell, or some elcheapo figures you get 20-50 figures practice on them

like use straight primer on 1-2 the slowly thin out the primer making notes as to your ratio of paint to (water/thinner) until you get there
