Raiders from two very different times from Masterbox in December

"Desert Battle Series. Buffalo Clan. To Catch a Thief‑II"

From Masterbox

Kit No. #35251

1/35th scale

Product link on the Masterbox website

Masterbox presents kit 35251, the next release in the Desert Battle Series: Buffalo Clan. To Catch a Thief‑2, rendered in 1/35 scale. This kit continues Masterbox’s exploration of post‑apocalyptic themes inspired by contemporary cinema and video games. The Buffalo Clan storyline imagines a world shattered by wars and natural disasters, where the few survivors must band together to endure. Some form predatory gangs to plunder the vulnerable; others build communities to preserve hope for future generations. The vignette captured here depicts an unlucky thief who runs headlong into such a gang—now only speed and fortune stand between him and capture.

Contents

Three sprues: one sprue supplies parts to assemble four figures; two sprues provide components to build a detailed buggy model.

Full assembly instructions are included on the rear of the box.

This kit is part of a larger series; figures and vehicles from 35251 are fully compatible with kit 35140 and other releases in the series, usable as standalone vignettes or combined into larger dioramas.

“Deadly Raid: British Commandos, Dieppe, 1942"

From Masterbox

Kit No. #35252

1/35th scale

Product link on the Masterbox website

Masterbox presents kit 35252, Deadly Raid: British Commandos, Dieppe 1942, in 1/35 scale. Interest in World War II subjects remains strong, and this release gains added resonance given recent events in Eastern Europe. The kit focuses on the early period of the war and the Dieppe Raid—an operation that, despite heavy losses, provided the Allied forces crucial lessons for organising large‑scale amphibious landings and influenced the success of Normandy in 1944. The kit highlights the achievement of the 4th Troop under the leadership of Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, whose troop was the only one to complete its objective during the operation.

Contents

• One sprue containing parts to assemble four Commandos from the 4th Troop during the assault on the Hess battery.

• Full assembly instructions included on the rear of the box.

 

The figures are expressive, finely detailed miniature sculptures suitable for display, vignettes, or integration into larger dioramas.
