These look as good as all of the other superb range that they offer to us, I must admit that if the figure has either a flat fitting, or a socket I find them easy, but always seem to trash them when the recipient figure has one of the shaped neck sockets,like many Tamiya and have quite a set of heads in my spares box that have no necks or one that is too short.

I always use a large drill on the figure and hollow the neck out. Then just cut the block off the Hornet head and insert. This way gives you some play as well when positioning it, as well as making for a realistic tunic/neck boundary.

If you can get hold of a Micro-Detailer (battery operated, variable speed dremel) you can grind out and profile the smallest detail without damaging surrounding material - I would not be without mine

Geez, these are tremendous! They are the best from Hornet I've seen in a while... They are all quite useable for my purposes, and numbering 5 would be great for a tank crew... Good character head, that #2!
