MiniArt's new 35th scale "Panzer Crew 1943-45" in our Preview

Panzer Crew 1943-45
From MiniArt Models
1/35th scale
Kit No #35465
Four figures included...
German tank crews from WWII. One might say that the market is saturated, but you all keep buying German tanks to house them, why not make something new huh? Everyone always wants to see new poses ,body language in figures that no one has seen before. These look like the ticket.
Not extreme heat or cold in the look of their clothing and equipment. These would suit any European summer spring our autumn scenario. After 1943 Panzer Jager, armoured recce & StuG crews often were issued field grey uniforms, and this is what you see on the very nice character study box art.

So what is in this kit?
In the kit, there are for figures, weapons & equipment that the tankers could use at any time in their duties. In the past MiniArt 's figures have needed some work especially around the faces - these we can say have great details in clothing and the faces!

The figures are delivered on one sprue each...
The commander has his own pair of optical lenses to use...
You might note details picked out by the sculptor in laces for the boots and RT throat mic lines, medals and clothing insignia.
Interestingly thee is a full weapons and ammo sprue if you want to either include that in your AFV or to show the tanker close to the line with self defence weapons...

You can see more about this kit on the MiniArt Website...
