Re: We all need prepainted figures

Dear Salazar,

As I said, Preiser's pre-painted figures are not cheap. But, with a little paint and effort, you could track down and model one of their brilliant 12 piece panzer grenadier sets at rest or advancing. These sets I could wax lyrical on, but you will find brilliant reviews about them on a site called " Plastic Soldier Review" which reviews all 1.72 sets covering all eras.

Preiser also has tank crewmen ammunitioning and at rest. They cover Russian crews doing similar things! Just be careful to check the scales because Preiser make similar sets in 1.87 scale!

The brilliant thing about these sets is that they provide dozens of interchangable parts so that you can model 12 unique figures from what seems to be two sprues of six identical figures with lots of extras which you can then detail other vehicles with!

There are other sets of German troops, but don't go for the German paras! They are poor in comparison to the other sets. I recommend the set for a German 75mm anti-tank gun. Brillant when made up!

Good hunting!
