I'm sure if it was a question of your visa running out, we could easily hide you between the lot of us....

After weighing up all the 1/72 possibilities for my growing WWII projects I've come to think the best and most aesthetic/value option is Italeri boxes of figures to fill out the rifle/LMG sections with just a few packs of the eyewateringly expensive AB miniatures as the support, HMG''s, mortars etc. They mix perfectly well in size and casting quality.

I looked at the resin stuff from PSC, which are Adler miniatures recasts in resin but wasnt convinved in the end.

Most of my stuff is currently Foundry 20mm with a few AB mixed in and a couple of EWM crews & guns. Will still use the Foundry figs when funds allow too, they dont really do summer Soviets so bought the PSC box last week.

Both are excellent - can't go wrong with either. You do tend to bump into more LAWers at Partizan......... 8-)

I had a look and you can only buy a maximum of 5 sprues, bit of a waste of time :cry:
