Yes, this is the stuff. I looked at the drawings at
www.wargames-figures.com
and verified it. But they must have scratch built some of the models, I
didn't see everything I remembered seeing in person. Very impressive
diorama
they had too.
I've sent off a email to mainly military/MBG asking for ordering
details.
Hopefully redirect my inquiry if they've sold the line.
Thanks for all the responses.
