 "British Soldiers in Cafe" 
From MiniArt
Kit No #35392
1/35th scale
Sculpting by Sergey Alekhno
The kit contains three figures, plus glasses, bottles and furniture in the box.
MiniArt's latest figure set of three figures, cafe furniture and glasses, make this new set, set during World War Two of "British Soldiers in Cafe". 

The sculpts put together without paint show the improved faces and detail under the new sculptor, Sergey Alekhno, that MiniArt has enlisted to improve their range.
 Below, you can see them painted up.
The kit features two British paratroopers, with their berets atop their heads while they drink a full large mug of beer each. Interestingly, the waiter has the funniest look on his face on the box art, but not in the figure itself!
The soldiers come with a choice of British weapons, which means that these soldiers are most probably not on "visible" active duty, we mean they are celebrating perhaps a capture of a village or town, perhaps during "Operation Market Garden"?
This set will perfectly combine with the recently released (this month) "Cafe Visitors 1930-40s".
That is all we know about this release so far. See more about all of MiniArt's kits on their website...
