Strelets A-H Cavalry on their way?
Permalink   

Remember the Strelets A-H Honved cavalry that have been "Coming Soon" since at least 2006? Well, Strelets have put the box art on their site!

http://www.strelets-r.com/Pages/Set.aspx?SetID=198&M=B

Still the same master that's been there for over ten years, but maybe I'll live to see them in the shops.

I don't know much about them, and haven't been able to find much on the Net, but the uniforms depicted on the box are most intriguing. I'll be interested to see whay PSR say in this set is actually issued.

Noted that one too. Your ten years patience and poetic efforts start to pay off.

Strelets' sculpting has improved so much over the last year or so that here is high hopes for this set.

It will be interesting to see if it includes the marching figures as well. After all, "Honved" is a very generic term.

I would have much preferred early war headgear, though. Regards, Pat

Hahahaha. I'd forgotten about the poetry.

I suspect the box art is a Serving Suggestion, but it would be nice if some PBI were to be included.

If you Google "honvéd lovasság" it will give you something to go on.

From their home page "Our standard infantry set contains at least 45 different poses, and a mixed infantry/cavalry set at least 24 infantry and 6 mounted figures"

Thanks for the replies. It does not look as if Strelets were to include them in the current or the next batch of sets:

Wow. Brilliant. It looks as if it might be a mixed set. Or maybe they're meant to be mounted infantry.

They seem to be wearing the "Winter Attila". How accurate that is, I shall be interested to learn.

This looks like some of the best Strelets sculpting ever. But spare a thought for this poor bloke, who defended the webpage single-handed for so many years, and is now not wanted.
