Thanks, guys

I too was thinking of buying one of these....seems they are not such a bargain after all.
Well....
If you can pick them up cheap - I paid £5 each for 2 - they are 'all right'.
It is a bit of pig to clean up and assemble but, as I said, no where near as bad as the Snatch Landy which is awful.
Size-wise they are a bit big (but I feel the 'correct' 1/56th ones are too small) - the crew figures are about a head taller than the Empress Brits.
They are too fragile for gaming unless you base them.
With the second one I'm going to replace a lot of the more fragile bits with brass wire (especially the axles) and white metal weapons.
The crew figures (extra - unsurprisingly) are basically plastic blobs and only 3 of 8 in the set are of any use. They take a lot of carving and mucking about in order to get them to fit. Thankfully the Empress heads fit perfectly
