Are Italeri figures , 1/35 th , of good quality ?
How do they compare to the ones I'm familiar with : Tamiya , MB ,Dragon, MiniArt ?

I just picked up a couple of Dragon sets and passed on the Italeri offering ( Sturmpioneer , I think it was - something to that effect ) ,, Wondering if i should have snagged them .

I think the box-art was what scared me

Well, the set you are talking about is an original ESCI kit. Scale from this set is more 1/32 but details quite well for its age.

The details of the actuell italeri figures is quite nice, but the poses are static and the face should be replaced.

Dang !
I missed the opportunity to have giants in my assault squad !

1/32 might have been an issue with what I would have purchased them for - But , I will obtain another example the next chance I have .
Thanks for the input

Have to agree with Steve. I regard any Italeri vehicle kit without figures as a bonus kit.

Thanks for the info
