I just thought I'd do a quick review on these, as there had been a discussion on the TMP forum about these particular items.

| Packets of Cased Colours as they arrive from Bicorn Miniatures |
I ordered one pack of "S3 Cased Colours with flag tops and cords" and another pack of "S4 Cased French Eagles" - each pack contains 4 wire flagpoles and 4 metal casts of either cased colours with tops or cased eagles.

I did expect a single cast (with the pole) but looking back on it I think my expectations were unrealistic.
The casts are very good, and although marketed for 25mm, they work fine for 28mm.
My only criticism is that the poles are very long, and I'm not sure if there's an expectation that you'd have the tools to drill a hole inside the colour to accommodate the pole (there is a small guide hole of a few mm)?
Either way, I was very pleased with the finished item and it will save you from buying hundreds of different flags.
Although of course, some people love flags!
9/10 - exactly what you expect - would have been a ten but let down by the fiddlyness (new word?) of attaching the colours to the pole
