it'll say how many there are in the box. If there are 2 models,
they're always going to be the quick-build/wargaming models. The only
exceptions to that rule are Dragon's HMMWVs, which are 2 to a box but
have a
lot of tiny fiddly bits. As far as I can tell, the Hat Armourfast line
are
all quick-build miniatures. Italeri makes a wide variety of different
models, not just quick-build ones, but their boxes are fairly clearly
marked
as fast-assembly/wargaming if applicable. And as I said before, if
there
are 2 in there, it's guaranteed at least one of them will be
quick-build.
These models are available in most hobby stores that sell 1/72 scale
kits.

Thanks, guys!
Do the companies identify their wargames friendly kits differently? Or,
in
the case of Hat and Italeri, is that pretty much all they make?
Anyway try looking in your local hobby/model shop and you should find
what
you are looking for.
Thanks, Tony, but my local hobby store is pretty sad. This is why I
pretty
much have to buy stuff like this online.
I haven't done much with miniatures in a long time, and I'm looking to
get
back into it. This stuff is intriguing.
