Although I 
use a TO&E that has 4 vehicles per platoon, so they won't fill out a
battalion 
sized unit per box.  Unfortunately I haven't had the chance of painting
any of 
these.	(I've been working on a modern GHQ based force recently with GZG

infantry)  Does anyone know if the RenLeg plastics are easy or hard to
paint?

Easy.  I generally prime with enamel, but acrylics go on just as easily.
 I 
picked up some extra turrets from Brigade -- I don't really like the
turrets 
that they come with -- to make AA vehicles and such.  Still haven't come
up 
with a paint scheme that I really like, though.

Are the boxed sets still available anywhere?
