“It looks like the moulds were made by a five year old. Are Strelets kits for wargamers? They can't be for serious modellers.”

Like many 1/72 figure manufacturers Strelets products are aimed at people constructing large battlefield dioramas, where the precise detailing and complex construction aren't a major consideration. For the figures, this means that the detail on the figures is ok but the sprues are thick. For the artillery pieces, this means they are accurately represented but generally quite simple and require some work to look really good. However, for most of the artillery pieces, they are the only company manufacturing them, especially in the case of these British pieces. Before buying I like to look up these kinds of 1/72 kits on Plastic Soldier Review. They take an in-depth look at all of the kits from 1/72 figure manufacturers, with ratings on various factors.
