The Polish conversion option is just what I've been searching for. Fantastic news!

More awesome heads,keep them coming. Lots of great heads and hands out there, but the uncharted territory in figure scale modeling custom/replacement is....foot gear. I think I read about as many comments and complaints about shoe and boot detail (shoelace detail, proper heel height, sole detail, spats, wrong for the period, etc.)as about heads and hands, but I haven't seen many responses from the aftermarket.

good catch, and not something the neophyte would be likely to undertake with Mil-Put!

These heads look fantastic. Anyone know an online seller of Hornet items, hopefully in the US?

As I understand it, these new sets should even be available at the end of this (august) month, with the usual distributors.
Historex is the obvious place to order, MS Models and Ultracast will surely follow suit. No idea who stocks them in the US, actually.
I will (pre)order all three sets from Historex, both to get mine asap and to show my interest.

Excellent idea. Let's hope that Roger will hear about your suggestion.
