US Repairmen
From MiniArt Models
1/35th scale
Kit No. 53047
Four figures in the one box
This 1:35 scale figure set depicts U.S. Army repairmen conducting field maintenance during World War II. The set includes 4 figures and various accessories such as jerrycans, oil drums, and toolboxes — ideal for enhancing vehicle or workshop dioramas.

The mind boggles at the amount of variations you can use with figures like these.

The kit:
MiniArt's 1/35 US Repair Men kit comes on ten sprues, and features four small sprues that encapsulate the figures of repairmen, making the work look easy. 
There are four sprues of tools and soldiers' equipment.
Both German & US "Jerry" cans, along with the soldier's tools, are on one sprue.

44-gallon drums are here too
Augers to pump the fuel are also included
MiniArt has given us photo etch to finely add to the smaller details as well as decals for the fuel drums & equipment.
This kit should be available next month from MiniArt's distributors worldwide. You can see more about this kit on the MiniArt website...
