Versus

TIA

There's not that much difference. Go with the ones that are cheapest, or that have the hand positions that you want!

Agree, can't tell which of those sets is the best. But I'm not interested about them, When I buy spare parts it is rather heads with helmet it is more significant according to me

Thanks Biggles2 and Alex for the comments.

I have some Dragon's sets and I want to improve them.
A friend give some heads (Hornet) but I never saw the hands.

Hi Alvaro, I personally find the Hornet Hands very useful whenever modifying figures. I think you'd really like them.
Here’s a link to a Hornet Catalog pdf. The three hand sets are located on page 6. HTH.

Thanks for posting the Hornet PDF Mike. It makes a lot easier to select heads rather than having to select a set individually on a vendors web site to have a look at them.

Hi

The pdf created by Historex is very useful, but I'm not sure if they've kept it up to date. Roger isn't churning out lots of new sets but there may be some not added to the Historex pdf.

Their web site also shows the range and is easy to look through and they post worldwide if you have difficulty finding a local supplier.

For some reason they have two listings for Hornet, one for heads only and another for figures etc. but that contains the heads as well, and the hands you enquired about

Hi Alvaro, Historex-Nemrod has a kit of 30 hands and 6 resin feets at 7,50 euro......i have many and they are fine and less expensive and more in number respect Alpine and Hornet, you could see them on NCO HISTOREX SITE, then choice separated pieces , choice again brass and found these hands, the code is 30372.

Enjoy yourself.

Mario from Italy.
