Six figures from three nations included on one tan sprue
The “Tankmen of WWI era” kit continues the series of the
figures dedicated to the subject of WWI era in 1/35th scale. The kit
consists of one sprue with all of the parts that you need to build six figures
of tankmen of WWI era.
The uniqueness of the kit is that these 6 figures are
divided into 3 pairs, each of those consists of private tank man and officer and
each pair shows tankmen of French, German and British Armies.
With WWI aircraft, tanks and figures being in the news
recently this kit is very topical. Having three different pairs of figures
makes this a good purchase if you want to kill a few birds with the one stone –
this is the figures as you could paint them up.
Here is a closer look
at the sprue map
...And the figures –
firstly the German – an officer and tanker.
Then the Frenchmen –
these uniforms did not change much even up until the second world war.
And lastly the
British – these would look great next to your whippet or Mk.I,II, IV or V tank.
This kit will be
available through all of Masterbox’s distributors after
November…
