Proud Kraut Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share #51 Posted July 13, 2014 Ian, it's high time to thank you very much for your contribution here!!! That's one of the biggest advantage of our forum here. After the link to the new kit was posted it only took seconds to see the "real deal" online as well. I will come back to this later since I just purchased one set online.... CU!

Proud Kraut Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share #54 Posted July 15, 2014 5 similar sets of 5 different GIs plus 3 crew members. Let's see how many different figures can be made of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted July 15, 2014 Share #55 Posted July 15, 2014 Looks like a nice crisp moulding Lars. You'll need plenty of time and patience to assemble, paint and position those figures!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted July 16, 2014 Share #59 Posted July 16, 2014 Just like the old Airfix "Multipose" figures of the 70s / 80s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted July 16, 2014 Share #60 Posted July 16, 2014 Yes, sure! Fig1.jpg The figure sprues Fig3.jpg Fig2.jpg Those are good, the equipment too, but one might want to add Tamiya M1943 E-Tools and Helmets though. A far cry from the Italieri figures we knew back there in the 70s and 80s, remember those? The Italieri Marder III, great detailed AFV kit, but the crewman? ehhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted July 17, 2014 Share #61 Posted July 17, 2014 28 figures? That is a project in itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted July 17, 2014 Share #62 Posted July 17, 2014 Did I ever tell anyone about my plan to do the the 9.SS Recon's attack on Arnheim Bridge, in 1/35 Now that would of been a project, in fact, though I don't model anymore, I did build no less than 6 German AFVs, halftracks, armored cars, a schwimwagen with crews, and no less than loose 30 SS figures, still still got the AFVs on shelves, and the figures in a box .
