Thanks!

Some nifty replacements for the aging Italeri set! Any idea how many sprues to a pack? (Looks like tthere's "one of each" on the sprue, so I hope we get at least two sprues in the box...)

It will be interesting to see the set. However, I don't see any Thompson SMGs in the set which is not good as they have a nice Thompson they could include and a decent supply would be most useful.

Now this is a set I can make use of, especially that Vickers gun!
Any news yet on how many sprues are in the box?

Great to see the PIAT, Lewis and Vickers making an appearance. Now all we need is someone to do an Owen SMG in plastic.

Picked this up today in my LHS and am slightly dissappointed to find only one sprue in the box. The detail looks a little soft on the vickers and the Piat is moulded with the bomb in and no detail in the top open part.

I would rather have more rifles with fixed bayonets than five different types of sten

Pat, thanks for the update. It's a bit disappointing, especially as I've seen some retailers selling it for as much as 8 quid. 2 sprues would have been nice, but given the lack of British light weapons from Tami-Dragon anything is welcome. I could certainly make use of the Vickers heavy and K on my half built LRDG chevy.
Personally I think its great to see some other types of Sten other than the Mk.II. But Pat I agree with you about the Enfields with bayonets, we really could've done with a few more than one each!
Whatever the quibbles its still on my shopping list.

I'm guessing you mean the Lewis gun as there is no vickers K

I thought it had a k and a lewis. slight senior moment their ha. A lewis would do me right too.
