This afternoon, i'll be doing a (revised) news story on the forthcoming Masterbox Set of French Partisans in 1/35th scale. This was the original:

Well, following on from the comments made on the original report, I got this in the mail this afternoon:


Quoted Text

Dear Jim,

During discussion of the kit Maki on your site, people expressed a
a thought that French partisans would hardly handle and bandage a German soldier in such a way. The same thoughts were expressed by our friends fromFrance. So, we have taken it into account and have altered the kit. Now it looks like this (see attached photos).


Doncha LOVE it when a manufacturer listens to their customers?

I didn't even raise an objection to the first version of the set, but I have to say I like this one much better. It does seem a lot more plausible now that you all mention it and I see the difference.

It is more interesting somehow too. It seems more the the beginning or middle of a story rather than the end of one.
