Does anyone do styrene Knights in 1/32?

Or maybe 1/35th? The only 1/32 knights I can see are the Italeri Knights but they're in that awful polythene stuff as far as I can tell.

The only plastic kits of Knights I've ever seen are all much bigger. I believe they were made by Aurora long time ago.

Yes and not forgetting the Imai ones which were in 1/12th. I don't know why some company hasn't done smaller ones in styrene as painting that polythene's a nightmare. Awful cheap crap.

Britain's make a range of plastic knights, etc. in 54mm, or 1/32 scale ( as well as other manufacturers). I just 'Googled' Britains plastic knights and the result was extensive. Detail is so-so to OK, but they need repainting.

I used to have a few of those but they're made of a soft bendy plastic not styrene. There's loads of styrene WW2 figures etc but model companies obviously think there isn't a market for styrene knights. could be an untapped market as I don't think anyone likes those polythene figures.

I notice some of the Italeri packaging has a label on the front that says "Suitable for gluing and painting" but they do appear to be moulded as one piece figures and horses and don't look too great.
Then again, have you seen this?

I wonder why they'd put that? As far as I know painting let alone gluing is a nightmare on polythene.
