Hi,
I recently ordered a Azimut two figure set in 1/35. My order arrived yesterday and when I opened the package I got a plain black box labeled with the product description and stock number. There are no assembly instructions or painting guide, just the two figures in a zip lock bag. Is this normal for this company?
(ADV/Azimut 2nd REI-Indochine/2figures. Ref.#35577)
Thank you,
P.N.

Hello
I've bought a few of there figure's over the years from Ebay & show's & that's seems to be the usual way they are packaged.
They make some very nice figure's.

For what it's worth most resin figures are not shipped with assembly or painting instructions.

if its comes from azimut I would be grateful if it came with all the pieces never mind painting instructions.

as Rudi says very few resin figures come with any form of instructions or painting guide.

cheers

One more fact you might note: their scale is erratic. Two civilian figures I bought were supposed to be 1/35 scale but obviously too big. Their Colonel Klink and Sergeant Schulz set, on the other hand, were perfectly proportioned and even had the correct heights for the actors who portrayed them (I looked up Werner Klemperer and John Banner to confirm this). I wish I could tell beforehand which figures Azimut does right and which they do wrong.

Tom, this is one of the reasons this site encourages all its' members to write reviews of the items they purchase, as it really helps other members and future members.

And I saw no listings for Azimut figures. I guess you mean I have to do the job this time.
