Strelets
Strelets is a manufacturer of 1/72 scale plastic model figures, founded in 1998 to fill gaps in the figure market that had previously required collectors to convert existing models themselves. Production began in Russia before later moving to Ukraine. The brand has become one of the most prolific and distinctive names in the 1/72 scale figure hobby.
A defining feature of the Strelets range is the exceptional variety of poses in each set. A standard infantry box contains at least 45 unique poses, and a mixed infantry and cavalry set provides at least 24 infantry and 6 mounted figures, far exceeding the typical offering from other manufacturers. The catalogue covers an unusually wide span of history, including the Dark Ages, medieval era, Napoleonic Wars, Crimean War, Jacobite uprisings, colonial conflicts, World War I and World War II. Strelets is one of the few manufacturers to cover the Crimean War in 1/72 scale, making it an essential source for colonial wargamers and diorama builders. Strelets figures are compatible with other leading 1/72 ranges from HaT Industrie and Italeri.

- Strelets Medieval and Dark Age Figures
Strelets produces a strong range of medieval and Dark Age figure sets that are popular with wargamers and diorama builders. Norman knights, Saxon warriors, Vikings, Scottish schiltrons and various medieval infantry and cavalry sets provide the building blocks for recreating some of history's most famous conflicts. These sets are well suited to rules systems covering the medieval period and offer a cost-effective way to build up large armies in 1/72 scale.
- Strelets Napoleonic Figures
The Napoleonic range is a key strength of the Strelets catalogue. British, French, Russian, Prussian, Austrian and Spanish troops are all covered, along with more unusual subjects such as French foreign legion units and troops from the Peninsular War. The range includes infantry, cavalry, artillery and command sets, providing everything needed to build complete armies for wargaming or detailed diorama scenes.
Strelets Napoleonic figures complement those from HaT Industrie well, and many wargamers use sets from both manufacturers alongside each other.
- Strelets Crimean War and Colonial Figures
One of the most distinctive aspects of the Strelets range is its coverage of the Crimean War, a period that is virtually ignored by other 1/72 scale manufacturers. British, French, Russian, Turkish and Sardinian troops are all available, making it possible to wargame this fascinating conflict in plastic for the first time. Colonial-era sets covering conflicts such as the Jacobite uprisings, the French Foreign Legion and various nineteenth-century campaigns add further depth.
- Strelets World War I and World War II Figures
Strelets produces a growing selection of twentieth-century figure sets. World War I subjects include infantry from several nations, while World War II coverage features American, British, German, Finnish and Soviet troops among others. These sets are designed to complement 1/72 vehicle and aircraft kits from other manufacturers, making them a useful addition to any modeller's collection.
