Orion makes 1/72 scale plastic figure kits, with a small number of dioramas and military vehicle crew sets. The range is built mostly around infantry, tank and vehicle crews, ancient warriors and cavalry, with smaller groups of rebels, sailors and pirates, artillery crews and bases and scenery.
The Orion catalogue covers a wide span of periods. Modern Russian federals and Chechen rebels from 1995 to 2005 sit alongside WWII German panzer soldiers, WWII U.S. tank crew in summer dress, Soviet tankmen and crew from 1939 to 1942, and USMC figures in Vietnam. Older subjects include 18th century English pirates. Specific kits are listed by their designations, such as Orion 72046 and Orion 72049, so modellers can plan a scene around a particular unit.
Most Orion items are model kits, with a few aftermarket accessories. Machine gun crews are a recurring theme, with DShK and Maxim crews among the more frequently catalogued subjects. Browse the range by period or product type to find figures for a specific diorama.
