Wonder how hard it is to build those Katyushas? The original metal ones were a nightmare! |

Thanks, Col Piron, that's about what I expected. The Zvezda plastic Katys might be cheaper, but when you need 8 of the stupid things… |

I received my Hit the Beach box today. Overall quite impressed save for one thing. I'm not entirely sure whether the infantry in it are made from the (so called) flexible plastic BF are now using, if they are it's certainly not very flexible! The plastic is grey and seems very brittle, similar to Games Workshop in hardness, and there's a few infantry figures (oddly Germans and US are on the same sprues) with white stress lines across the barrels of weapons and a few that have just broken off in transit. Castings looks good but for this box at least, flexible the plastic most certainly is not. Think I'll probably order a platoon or two of FiB figures for each side and sub those in for the breakages. Be interesting to see what the infantry is like in the other two boxes I have on order (US and German) and whether it's as 'flexible' as Hit the Beach. Not much point using plastic infantry if the weapons are going to snap at the drop of a hat. |

Thanks for confirming that. Glad in a way. I've yet to see how the flexible plastic figures will be 'in the flesh' so to speak and was kinda worried it the HTB were flexible there was going to be breakages galore. As it is I can probably stand the losses in this box and plug the gaps with figures from other boxes. Might not need to as they tend to give you a few extras anyway. |
