If someone has this set, I have a couple questions for you. Is the wounded figure molded as part of the strecher, or is he separate from it? How is the overall quality as well? I am thinking about a MedEvac dio and may get this and/or the 35196 set w/the 4 figures carring a stretcher as well.
Thanks in advance.

I saw this set along with all the other modern stuff that CMK has done to date at a show. As usual, disappointing. The figures are posed very stiffly, same sculpting as all the other releases. The price for this set is nice, but honestly, the subpar casting and sculpts drew me off.

Thanks Arnold. I still may get them. They would work great for a MedEvac dio. We shall see.

The set I just got from Sprue Bros. looks pretty good, no bubbles and the interceptor vest have pretty decent details. Without examining it up close the only problem I've noticed is that the corpsmen look like they are wearing Saratoga suits, which would limit them to the invasion and march up to the Dialya River without some surgery to remove the hood(s) and they are carrying ALICE mag pouches IIRC there were some Marines who still were using them (but they were by far in the minority). The casualty is cast onto the litter, which appears to be the newer patter litter, however it is unfortunately missing the feet.

John,
Thanks for the info. I may still get them and do an OIF 1 dio.
