Just spotted that on Masterbox website.
It's strange this new fashion for MB to illustrate the kit with real pictures mixed with a sort of "digital painting "
Aayway, from what I can see these are better than the Dragon set. one critic so far, the guy on held on the back of his comrade has one of his leg that seems a bit straight.

Wow!~!!!!!!
Thank you very much for the information! I really love MB. It`s only a great pleasure to build their kits!

Hi

Thanks for posting this.

I agree the image of the crewman carrying his injured comrade looks totally wrong, more like he's throwing him in some judo throw rather than carrying him. The feeling of weight on his shoulders and the body shape of the injured guy doesn't work. It should be like the boxart, which looks great.
Same with the other figures. The crewman helping his comrade along looks great in the boxart but stiff and wooden in the individual images.

Hope they are digital images of some kind and not the real figures digitally enhanced. As I said the box art looks great, get the pose and animation like that and they will be superb.

Hey Julien,
Thanks for the "heads up".
Master Box has probably only got the box art available and we'll have to wait until they release actual photos of the assembled figures before comments on the position of the leg should be made.
Anyway, it looks good !!
Cheers

Lol
Very funny the judo joke !
I couldn't be absolutely certain, but I'm pretty sure that these digital images are based on the real masters/figures. I've bought recently the cart box kit, and if you look at it closely, you will see that some details are not the real kit but digital improvement (look at the hair of one of the german soldier) It seems to me that's a new way to present new kit, like ragon which is using 1/16 scale masters as images pre release....
In France these practice as a name : misleading advertisement
You may notice that Dragon anticipated that and put the classic mention next to the picture "product may not be exactely as shown..."
Only one way to "fight" against that : have more inbox and built review from our friends from
armorama

Thanks for the heads up on this Julien I have added it to the news page.
By my reckoning this makes the third set of fleeing German Tankers - as well as the Dragon kit there was an Alanger kit (Also released by Revell)
the artwork is strange and the guy being carried does look a bit as if rigor mortis has set in but we'll see more when Masterbox send us photos of the actual figures.
