Hat/Armourfast is one. Kits are on the large side for 1/72 but are 
usually 5-6 parts and each box contains 2. Italeri are also doing fast 
assemble kits for wargames. These have more parts (about 10-12) and are 
again 2 to a box. I have some of each and I must say I prefer the 
Italeri. A little more detail and a better fit with my other kit (resins

mostly). However I have used a number of plastic kits for wargame and 
haven't had much trouble or damage with them. Some of my old Airfix kits

are coming up on 20 years service. Anyway try looking in your local 
hobby/model shop and you should find what you are looking for.

Tony.
