    I like the squad leader figure; interesting that he's carrying the mag pouch for an MP40 (were they interchangeable on the Sten?) The little ribbon that the rifleman is wearing isn't enough to prevent both sides from shooting at you. His expression seems a bit clueless as well, but that's just me being critical (though that is a part of the job here). Iwould have preferred an expression that I could recognize: anger, dismay, fear, etc.

    Dear Taeuss, Good to hear from you. Being a creative modeller you can of course use a replacement head of any other brand like the ones with more dynamic facial expressions from e.g Alpine. Rado figures matches the sizes of generally available resin figures so that shouldn't be a big deal. As for the Sten it's not about the magazines but about the pouch the insurgents used everything what they could get and that was the intention for this figure, but of course, as stated in the description text, you can use the alternative MP40 that comes with this figure. Best, Rado

    Thank you Radek, you nailed exactly what I would do in regards to the heads. As to the pouch, I understood that times were desperate and that everything possible was used, I just wondered about the Sten/MP40 clip compatibility. I'm kind of picky that way.

    I noticed that, especially in regards to Rado releases. As for the SMGs, both utilized the same 9mm Parabellum ammunition so I believe it is possible to utilize a MP40 pouch for Sten magazines, but I didn't have the chance to check on my own. Cheers, R.
