Outstanding heads from Hornet. But I don't recall anything from them that wasn't The Japanese heads will deffinatly be on order at the begining of the month to help me with my main arrea of interest, South Pacific a.o.o.

Watch out! those Japanese Helmets are WAAAY TOO SMALL! They are small enough to be childrens' toy helmets... See 1/35 FINEMOLDS, MASTER BOX, DRAGON & TAMIYA figure sets, also VERLINDEN. Check your historical reference photos- Most WWII Japanese helmets looked a bit TOO BIG for their wearers. I suggest using the HORNET Asian Head set WITHOUT Helmets and mating them up to your plastic figure sets' helmets and other headgear...

I agree that they look to be sitting a little high, but they look fine to me scale wise.

I'll probably wind up buying this HORNET set, but I'll cut, file and sand the helmets of these guys off and fit them up with the plastic kit-supplied helmets, because they ARE more correctly proportioned to the heads. In looking at a mirror, my REAL WWII Japanese Combat Helmet with me wearing it, it even looks a little big on me- I wear a US size 7, (size 56/57, European)... I DO respect other opinions on this subject, but to me, the HORNET Japanese Helmets look too small... Thanks... PS- Their WWII US M1 Helmets are too small as well...

Not there in my opinion. And #5 looks like a propaganda caricature.
