BTD Winter War Russians - Any good?

[Orctrader]

Anyone actually bought/seen these care to share their opinions?  Quality, fit with other manufacturers, etc.

Alternatives if these are not recommended?

(Must be Winter clothing.  I'm re-reading Sven Hassel...)

Ha! I thought I was the only person sad enough to still rate Hassel as an author! Admittedly from a very Pulpy point of view.

Not seen any of the Russians though, sorry.

How soon do you need them ? my order is approaching the three month mark

[Bako]

Might wanna check that one, Dan . Dude, I'd send a harsh compaint if it's taking that long.

hey good old sven Hassel loads of scenario ideas,North star did some of the main names sven ,porta etc in 30mm though.

[Orctrader]

Thanks 

Still don't know if they are any good.  And with Dan's experience, whether that actually have any in stock 

[Dan]

Thanks for the advice but they have had several emails and I have contacted them through the site but had not had any reply . I have however recieved a small portion of the order so am wondering how long its going to take to get the balance .

Now the sale is finished they might be able to supply stock items quickly , but I dont think I can be bothered and have since shelved my Dr Who project .

Its exhausting checking the mail several times a day to see if anythings arrived and the disappointment is a little hard to bear at times .
So I will be spending my money elsewhere .

Nah - they are not suitable for the Winter War period as the Soviets were predominantly in greatcoat with schlem rather than snow suit and ushanka. Might be useful for Dorn's ski brigade though - just leave out the smgs.

Useful for later on though

Anyone have photos of these?  I've found them on the Website for sale, but no photos.
