Hi Frank,

There are about 9 reviews for Hobby Fan figures in the review section.
I do have one set myself in the stash, which from memory (I'm at work) is very good, 'US Ranger Recon team'.

Hope the reviews help, by the way which set are you looking at?

If you add some more information about the set you are interested in, I'm sure you would get more detailed answers. In the meantime, check out the reviews guys pointed out for you.

I have made a few of the Vietnam sets and overall they are very nice. I did find a few inaccuracies with the weapons (M16's with curved banana clips instead of the usual shorts mags) but overall would recommend them.

However, some of the later sets suffer from "cartoon faces" so you might want to use a Hornet head instead.

I have a few of the modern figuers, (ranger snipers, us marines) and find they are good kits. well moulded and easy to put together. Well worth getting if you can find them cheap
