I knew that Imex acquired Accurate's products, but I was hoping that web shop is actually having an original box

I expected that figs will be a bit larger and more robust (more like Revell's and Hat's), but it turns that they are bristle a bit (and they are dark-green, almost black coloured).

Regarding this material, is it a same used for original and Revell's production as this is now with Imex run?

thnx

this is interesting. Imex make the accurate set of english men at arms which was ónce made by Revell???
This lot??

a-ha

box is different from original, although in shop is represented as it is:

http://www.modelhobbies.co.uk/shop/accu ... -5801.html

and when you consider the price...

they also just got Zvezda's Prussian hussars and Hat's 1805 French artillery...

btw, I saw that our Tom (CW-toys...) apparently has the Medieval Britain... sorry if I am too late to tell you this, I noticed that you are looking for it too only after the Kampen meeting

Now I understand: You´re not digging a swimming pool at all, it´s going to be a bunker for all your purchases, cleverly diguised as a pool. :-)

A bit like this;

Bought some Mexicans(foot and mounted) for my ongoing WildWest project. Those of you who were there might have seen us..
Also Russian Horse Artillery from Newline for my Borodino Army.
And several goodies from Tom, mostly Zvezda. Like the russian Guard Artillery, and the death Head Hussars.
But the most important purchase during the Kampen Show: Tadaaa the Highly Official Metting at Kampen Shirt...ups forgot to have it signed... :-D
