Hi,
Is there a manufacturer that makes resin WWII US Infantry weapons sets out there at all?
Thank you for your help.

Joe.

Live Resin makes an assortment of highly detailed modern weapons, and a set of M1 Garand rifles.

Hi Russ,
Thanks for the heads up. Sorry, I should have made clear that I'm looking for WWII weapons.
I will check out that Live Resin Garand, though.
Thanks again.

Joe.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for your message.
I think those Verlinden sets are for 120mm scale. I'm really looking for 1/35th.
I've got the Bronco set, too. It looks like I may well have to go the plastic route. But thanks anyway buddy.

Joe.

While I would generally recommend Dragon, they are not consistent. You could buy one figure set with exceptionally detailed and sharp weapons, and then buy a more recent set and the weapons look like they were made from 30 yr old molds; very annoying. Bronco's recent set, while not quite as nice as Dragon's best, have,at least, consistent quality.
