## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they already painted?**
A: No. They are grey plastic. You need to paint them after assembling them. The detail is very crisp, though; they were one of the most enjoyable painting projects I've done in several years.

**Q: How big are they?**
A: Standing straight up 31mm bottom of foot top of bare head. With helmet or cap more like 32mm to 33mm. BUT the figures vary from set to set as to height and build. In "Germans On Maneuvers" the marching poses fit with my Eureka 28mm which are 31mm bottom of foot top of head with cap on while other poses in the set are huge by comparison.

**Q: are they easy to paint?**
A: Easy is a relative term but popular military modeling scales are 1:16, 1:35, 1:48 & 1:72 and generally speaking the smaller they are the harder they are to paint. Also, as you move to the larger scales like 1:35, kits tend to be molded in separate pieces making painting easier. 1:35 is arguably, the most popular scale, it has the widest selection. bigger is generally easier but more expensive and it takes up more space which is particular important if you plan to build a diorama. If you are new to military modeling, I would recommend something in the 1:35 scale. If you are adimate about sticking with 1:48, Tamiya kits are good quality and I would say one of the easiest brands to paint. Less expensive brands tend to have more "flash" which is the slop left over from the molding process and flash and mold lines can make them more challenging to paint. Higher end figures may have a little cleaner mold lines than Tamiya but more detail is what you are paying for with higher end models and that detail requires painting. So... long winded way of saying if you're new, Tamiya is a good place to start but other than scale, larger being easier, the challenge of painting is more dependent on the painter; i.e. If you're patient, use good light, some magnification reading glasses, good paint, brushes, etc. and you enjoy tedious pointless endeavors, you'll be fine.

**Q: Is there an analogous Wehrmacht set in 48 scale?**
A: Sort of, there is a wehrmacht set, however none are in similar combat positions but only marching, many interesting 1/48 vehicles to look into though.
