Thatīs good info Darryl, thanks for posting. I also love the aircraft there, especially those F-84s. About the infantry, what do you think about the quality? I have ordered armor from Pithead and they were great, but I usually get infantry from Pendraken. However, for my Czech-German what-if project I will be using Pithead Slovak infantry, so I am very curious (your pictures, and those at Pithead still havenīt convinced me!). |

Texas – I have had both Pendraken and Pithead. They are different a bit from each other. Pendraken remind me of 15mm companies who make their figures in a "chunky" style. Pithead seem thinner to me. The overall castings seem fairly good. There is a touch of flash to remove on a few figures (just a touch of the x-acto along the mold line will take care of it). Overall I think they are solid, and they certainly have a HUGE offering for WWII, covering nearly every power, major and minor. They come out to about .24 cents per figure, awhile Pendraken is .25 cents, so a negligible difference. |

Thanks Darryl, this is very helpful. So I will order the Slovaks without fear, and then we shall if they can make the Munich Agreement irrelevant.  |

Do you need 140 Chinese infantry?? Well, yes. At least. |

Texas, did you order the Solvaks in the end? |
