Jeremy,

Good point about the Hornet heads. Problem I have with Ultracast is that sometimes their faces look old (to my taste anyway). A first problem with Hornet heads is that they are typical 'Hornet', one easily, always recognizes them at first glance. Kind of like Historex heads (1/30 though). The best is to mix and match brands in a diorama to offset the impression of the clones.

A common mistake with Hornet heads is the length of the neck. People often don't chop it off enough so that the head doesn't sit properly on the body.

Cheers,

Patrick
