Hello, I read the reviews and know not as good as resin but how are the molding on the Dragon 1/35 Advance to Rhine figures. I know heads could be replaced but how is molding on boot buckles, etc. Thanks

This set is very good as far as plastic figs go. They will never be as good as a top line resin fig but they sure are way cheaper!
I have found,if you have the time and patience,you can get very good results with plastic figgies by sanding,carving and undercutting. Pop on a resin head and you are in biz.
Low tech but inexpensive!

I'm working on the medic right now. The set is ok, as Jerry mentioned, scribing and undercutting will go a long way to improving the figures. I personally think the figures are a bit on the large size compared to the Bastogne set, the helmets are noticeably larger to boot and the netting not particularly well done. I'm using Legend heads and I think they're a touch undersized which may work for you or against you depending on what you want. The poses are nice and a good change of pace with the late war uniforms which I believe would be correct for Korea as well.
You can see what I've been up to with the medic here:
