Hey again
This question may have been lost in my last post, but has anyone used Ultracasts' Commonwealth tank crew? They look fantastic and although made specifically for the original DML Firefly, they can be used on any C'wealth tank. Think there are 5 heads, two torsos, one 3/4 commmander. Work out at about $28 AU plus shipping... What would that cost to ship to my wide brown land?
Cheers
Bradley

Bradley, if the cost isn't too high then get the Ultracast figures. The castings are clean and sharp, IMHO they're the best British WW2 figures around.

I concur. This set is excellent. The faces also have lots of personality.

Hi,

Sprry I don't know the cost of shipping but remember you will not have to pay tax so that might help.

Excellent figures Highly Recommended.

I ordered from Ultracast several times and the shipping is very reasonable

i have a few of them in various stages of construction. The detail and casting is probably the best i've seen. Like you, i hope I can do them justice with the painting.

My review is a 10 out of 10, or 2 thumbs up.

Hi Guys:

I am co-owner of a hobbyshop in Canada and we usually stock lots of Ultracast stuff. If you have any problems getting stock, I probably have it or can get it quick.
