I already plan to mix Revell and Italeri/Escii in occasional units, just for more variety internally. There's not enough poses per box to do otherwise really.Arquinsielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290858295232803685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-49073557933229621922009-10-09T06:36:55.056+01:002009-10-09T06:36:55.056+01:00They are the cats whisker's mate, shame on you...They are the cats whisker's mate, shame on you for waiting so long!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666481879639671282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-55787958130868834992009-10-09T00:51:56.727+01:002009-10-09T00:51:56.727+01:00lol

I would not mix manufacturers with metals for command. The Platoon 20 stuff will look big next to any plastic.
