Verlinden makes a lot of interesting OIF figures, but they are not so good casted as some other brands. However, I got most of them and are planning to use all of them.

Thanks for the quick reply Erik.The casting for sure will be better than Trumpeters is....
I think I will buy one set of "US Infantry Iraq in Parka" and test how they are. They cost 13,95 € in my favourite shop and they come post free

That's for sure... I would also recomend Blast Models OIF figures. Those are great, very detailed and the poses seem natural... I like those much better than Verlinden offerings.
