Italeri Buffalo Hunt has been discontinued and is no longer available from some channels, although you might still find a copy on the shelf of your local hobby shop. That is where I found mine.
The box contains 56 1/72 detailed figures. The box contains four identical spruces with fourteen figures on each spruce. Each spruce contains one horse, two rider figures and two other Indian figures. The rest of the figures depict Buffalo in various states of being hunted down or trying to escape the frenzied onslaught of these native warriors.
Although these plastic castings are well formed and had no noticeable flash I was a little disappointed with only having a total of four horses in the mix. In addition, I believe that the horses have a rather an unnatural appearance.
Useful review, but, if I can give some corrections:
ReplyDeleteThis set is in fact released by NEXUS which used some old ATLANTIC moulds which had contained only one sprue. Nexus have a small range on this sort, some are really nice and they give everybody the possibility to "touch" ones of the mythic first 1/72 figures manufacturer! (the other one is AIRFIX... )
