I like these, but once again, it would be great to see the resin pieces, not just CAD images. BTW, the images show solid carrying handle on M16, as well as forward sight... ouch. Mario

Hi, Mario, and Thank You, Carlos! These CAD images also show "solid" Trigger Guards/Triggers. Remember folks, these "firearms" are made of resin, and resin is very FRAGILE. Yes, I agree that it would have been nicer for EDUARD to have published images of the ACTUAL products; perhaps they will at a later time. It is also possible that EDUARD may yet manufacture these products with "opened" Carrying Handles, Trigger Guards, etc... Let's not condemn EDUARD before we see the actual products being reviewed...

You're welcome Dennis! There are more images on their website, but I would say they are also computer-generated: So far I have not been able to see a real piece, and previous ones (CAD) also show the solid trigger/handle. Maybe it is not there on the final product, or comes as a thin resin layer easily removed. No idea.

I found a couple of actual images of some of Eduard's offerings over on Sprue Brothers' website, and to be fair, they don't look too impressive. LINK LINK IMHO, there much superior options in both resin and plastic, with open trigger guards!

The M-16s look like they were cut from the hands of those green plastic army men you got when yuu were a kid.

The PPsh's seem okay provided you can clean up the trigger and guard; otherwise what's the point in resin if styrene at least has these parts clean and clear?

Review on Britmodeller LINK Looks nice- thin resin film can be easily cleaned and trigger guards are hollow
