We present first results of fully synthetic UV spectra of young starbursts. With this we mean that the spectra used to model the OB and WN stars result from unified non-LTE model atmospheres, in which stellar winds are accounted for. An important aim of this project is to construct meaningful models for young starbursts at low metallicities. We discuss the presence of He II emission as a function of maximum initial mass and age of the burst.
