Once again, we''re able to present another Work-in-progress from
Masterbox Ltd.. This time, a set of figures which are sorely lacking in the current catalogues - D.A.K AFV Crew. The photo-report of this NEW W.I.P. can be seen:

I'd buy the set just for the bedouin, the DAK are just gravy

Glad to see it, you hit the nail on the head: lots of DAK-suitable vehicles, but few good figure sets in comparison. I have the two from Tristar and they're not bad, but DML's are either old or too specific to infantry.

Hats off, once again, to masterbox for sending out these WIP projects. They are intriguing looks at the process of making a kit or figure set and I'm sure by releasing these details they get useful feedback.
I think this set looks really well animated and all look very natural in their poses. another good point is the accurate, 1940's haircut on the guy crouching down. More than once I've seen figures of WW2 European Soldiers with crew cuts or some other later style. Short back and sides is the way to go, if you look at old photos!
Well done masterbox, look forward to future developments

Great little set. You can almost feel how "HOT" the Figure kneeling, with the propper hair cut is. Very nice change to your normal AFV crew, manning all the hatches. Was it true alot of the Arabs suported the Germans " with open arms/pockets, when the DAK arived in North Africa? Great looking, thanks MB, Geraint

I just discovered this report. What a great set from Masterbox. I especially like the rider and donkey. Now I need this one, too!
