I am probably in a minority but I am not that bothered about the box - which is not retained. For large companies the cost of expensive box art can be assimulated into the large number of units sold not so companies like Strelet. I agree with Ian and hope that the figures live up to my expectation. As for the 9.2" lets hope it is farly straight forward to assemble as I am all fingers and thumbs!
Having bought one item from Strelets, (the 8" howitzer), I am inclined to discard the box and the contents.( FOC to anyone who wants it.) I do hope that the latest attempts show a marked improvement.

Seems that you either like or loathe Strelet sets. Having made each one a couple of times I quite like them - but then what I produce will never reach competition standard. Yes, like many producers of limited run products they require more sanding and preparation but no worse from other such manufacturers. Having carried out some mixing and matching between the sets it has been possible to produce more variations. The alternatives in resin/ metal are often worse!
Its a pitty that tre picture on the box does not show the actual set. The officer (second on right side) has an early gasmask cover. Non of the figures has in. We cav also see sldiers in steel helmets. This set will be witjout them
Thirded, it was the early 8 inch howitzer for me too, thought it appalling despite being impressed at having a breech that could be displayed open. You'd think on a kit of something where one single item - the barrel - is the most important piece, you'd at least bother to get that good, as it was on my example the muzzle looked awful and if bored out so both sides would be equal would be too large. Glad I got the Matador example!
