Good stuff - I've gotten their T34s, Panzer IVs, Halftracks, and Soviet Infantry.
They don't come with all the stowage the FoW ones have, but you can buy FoW stowage, or make your own, and still save a heap of money.
The infantry are FAR superior to the FoW stuff, especially as they lack those horrible bobble-heads that FoW metals have.

Yep, its all good stuff. You might also check out the 1/100 stuff from Zvezda, also very good and cheap.
To a New Yorker like you a hero is some kinda weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Tigers!

Tanks for the replies guys. I'll take a look at that other company. Just got hooked up with 10 iv panzers and a few panthers from a friend so gonna turn the army into panzers with grenadiers in half tracks. How long does plastic soldier company take to ship usually?

Never brought from them direct, always get mine off ebay.

One thing they don't have (particularly Zvezda which another poster mentioned) is the over-emphasized detail of Battlefront minis. Things like grills, tools or channels between plates tend to be less defined and more in line with realistic scale. This can make thing a little harder to pick out for painting (wash/drybrush doesn't go as far) and a little easier to just blend in to the rest of the model when your eyes are at tabletop height.
When buying 20 T-26s I'm still going to go with Zvezda every day, but it's something to be aware of.

Bought only t-34 from them, nice models and more reasonable priced than battlefront ones.

Uriel, are you thinking about going to any official Battlefront tournaments? As they are sticklers for a HIGH percentage of the models being used being FoW product...

great kits - ive ordered a few now and would gladly recommend them, nice detail, some extra bits/spares, their figure sets are great too and also their decal sets are cool, just got one for the 12th ss
