Who is the manufacturer Strelets?

Strelets is a Russian manufacturer of perfectly molded and hand-cut plastic figurines and models. The company was born in the 70s in the USSR. At that time, mussels were still imported from America and western models had to be content to reproduce the Russian military and their equipment. Later, Strelets perfected himself in the manufacture of molds for the production of original and very realistic Strelets figurines.

At first, for ideological reasons, the range is limited to the exclusive manufacture of Soviet war aircraft, tanks, automatic artillery and civilians. CBVs and 1/72 scale transport vehicles are also added to the collection. The strelets 1/72 are then molded in metal in one piece to facilitate mass production. After the revolution of the Soviet Union, strelets became a national leader and distinguished itself by a greater variety of poses for its war soldiers.

This innovation allows collectors and players better to recreate battles with more realism and complexity. The standard collection of little soldiers figurines contains at least 45 different poses while the cavalry has at least 24 infantry figurines and 6 mounted figurines. The manufacturer of Miniature Strelets then seeks to complete all the elements necessary for the creation of battlefields. That is why it offers different collections of soldiers and equipment of different nationalities.

What are strelets' specialties?

Strelets specializes mainly in the production of military figurines and equipment related to wars and civil protection.

Enthusiasts and players of all ages can recreate battlefields and enemy attacks in a setting close to reality. If at first Strelets produced exclusively miniature soldiers of the Russian and Ukrainian army, today their creativity has no limit. Strelets specialties are therefore:

● Military and war soldiers figurines in a wide variety of poses and uniforms; (p>

● S tanks, guns, military cars and trucks;

● Arms and war equipment;

● Civilians and horsemen;

● Horse figurines and war dioramas;
