I'm a big fan of the Eureka ranges, nice to see them stunningly painted.

Very nicely done. I have tried to paint the same minis, but mine did not come out nearly as nice as yours. But we did both paint white gas masks, I think we must have used the same reference image/s.

Only thing that I would criticise on them is the fragility of the gun barrels, ...
I completely 100% agree. I have actually snapped two AK-47 gun barrels, and becaues of that, it has put me off purchasing any more of these really nice minis.

I was lucky with mine. Whilst some were horrendously bent out of shape I did manage to carefully bend them all back into position. Things got a little tense with one of the PK barrels though. Trouble is if they snap you've got not way of pinning them back on because they're so thin.

Exactly correct. I was thinking of using the pin as a barrel, and maybe a small blob of Green Stuff for the front sight. But I fear that I may just ruin the rest of the gun, by drilling into it. I might bring up the weak barrel problem, next time I visit the guys at Eureka (their shop is only a 5 min drive from my house).

Amazing paint!

I have a squad of these and a BRDM2 from Red Star miniatures, all very nice models.

Like the alternate colour scheme, and good use of an AT-43 walker.  :)
