Preview: Scenes of desperation & defiance from Ukrainians from Masterbox in December...

Earlier this year we looked at these two kits in development. Both showing Ukranian people in 1/35th scale. The sets show both the resilience and the desperation of the situation in Ukraine during this invasion. We look at them in our preview...

"Ukrainian-Russian War series, kit № 2. Azov Regiment, Defence of Mariupol, March 2022"
From Masterbox
Kit No #35224
Two figure set
1/35th Scale
Masterbox's new kit, no #35224 "Ukrainian-Russian War series, kit № 2. Azov Regiment, Defence of Mariupol, March 2022". The kit comes in 1/35th scale.
The kit features two Ukrainians from the Azov Regiment, who fought a desperate defence in the battle for the encircled Mariupol before they could not continue and surrendered. 
The anti-tank team is seen crossing from cover to cover, with the soldier with extra RPG ammo guiding his shooter to cover as they screen for the enemy who could be attacking them from either side of the destroyed and broken cityscape.
This series of kits is dedicated to all countries and to all people of Planet Earth who supported Ukraine in protection from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. 
The sprue and make up of the two figures is seen on the back of the box...


"Ukrainian-Russian War series, kit № 5. Refugees. March 2022"
From Masterbox
Kit No #35227
Two figure set
1/35th Scale
The crisis of the Invasion of Ukraine caused many to flee their homes and their country since the start of the Russian invasion. The unstable nature of the future of the country means that even more of these people will flee the country. The UNHCR now projects that some 8.3 million refugees will leave Ukraine. A sad sight to see so many people leaving everything behind to an uncertain fate.
Many men have been called up to fight, and some, like this man is sending his children and dog to the transport to get them out of the country, to who knows where...

The CAD drawings show the detail afforded to these figures by the sculptors.
This series of kits is dedicated by MasterBox to all countries and to all people of Planet Earth who supported Ukraine in protection from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
