I understand that Zvezda has come out with some mounted cossacks (1/35?), supposedly for WWII, but usable in most periods, as they have swords. Anyway, it is always a bear trying to get Zvezda stuff, so does anybody know a) If I am correct in thinking this has happened, and, if so b) where I can get a reasonably inexpensive and reliable source, in -or that will ship to- the U.S.? Thanks |

My blessings upon you sir. May your wife carry you swiftly across the desert and your camel bear you many strong sons. |

Hay, leave my camel out of this! |

but usable in most periods, as they have swords That's wildly optimistic! I once looked at the Battlefront WWII cossacks to see if they would fit RCW. Even when waving swords they don't -- it's hard to get past the PPSh strapped to their backs, for example. (There's no problem finding Cossacks in any common scale for the 1900 – 1930 period anyway.) |
