MiniArt keeps securing its position as one of the power houses when it comes to the figures that either stand alone or man our latest armoured fighting vehicles. MiniArt has announced a new figure set in the works and it is some bare chested Germans which a number of people have requested at various times. Take a look inside for details.
MiniArt may have been watching a couple of recent threads where topless German figures were being requested as they have supplied just that in this latest work in progress. This time around MiniArt has announced they are working on German Tank Crew “Afrika Korps”. The set depicts a five man tank crew naked except for hats, shorts, and boots performing maintenance on their vehicle, and while 3 of the crew are wearing the German sun helmet it should be an easy task to modify them for your preferred look. I suspect this will be another of those must have figure sets for MiniArt

I think you'll find that set was produced by Masterbox. Understandable mistake, done it myself. Alan

Real nice!! Great timing to, I was just looking for some. Also Just ordered them from the LHS. I will use them on a South Pacific Elco PT boat DIO. Also a Dragon Panzer IV or III.

I'm with you, Vandy. All the pics I've found of Elco crews had at least half of them shirtless, and yet Italeri provide them wearing full kit, and all dressed the same! Grubby.

once again a proof of miniart ingeniosity ! This set will satisfy any modeller who ever dreamed of building soldiers in short, but never dare to sculpt it (because human anatomy is not that simple) because there was NO offer in the market personnaly it will allow me to make the legionnaire in indochinian paddy I've planned to do since 2 years.. Best, Julien ps : I'll hope will see some master of all those announcements from the Nurember toy fair report
