A couple of weeks or so ago, Masterbox Ltd. sent us images (as they often do) of WIP on their (future) French Resistance set in 1/35th scale. Now, following comments and suggestions in the Forums here, they have made some significant changes to the set: The NEW images and a fuller explanation, can be seen:

If you have comments or questions please post them here.
Thanks!

Excellent, nice to see they pay attention.
I like the dejected look on the German.
Once again a nice little vignette in a box.

Masterbox, please don't change anything on this setting!
It's perfect!
With the other set that you showed us i made a remark about giving an german officer
medical assistence.
To me this was not realistic
Now this new set is totaly believable.
The german is alive and it is to the buyers mind what happens to him after interragation.
The posses of these figures is so simple but so perfect.
Like i said in earlier posts,....Gonna buy a few of them.
Frank.

Nice poses,the inclusion of the sten rather than the thompson in the original set gives a more resistance /FFI feel to the figures I think the female would also look more the business with a sten as well and dump the brief case, but a nice touch with the mas.

I think if they had changed the original wounded German officer to a wounded Allied pilot the scene would have been believable also. I do like this new set.
Masterbox is at the top of the modelling game.

Great set.
I am thinking this scene next to a damaged Pz. IV. The diorama potential is super.
Thanks for the update.

I agree that this manufacturer is really good. They are very creative in their subjects. partisans are always under represented by manufacturers. has anyone thought of doing a set of yugoslav or russian partisans?
