A few weeks, ago, we ran a report on Bronco Model's first figure set in 1/35th scale. Now, the company have sent us a series of images of CB35037 - WW.II Allied Female Soldier Set. The Image Report can be seen:

Looks like it will be a very useful set. Molding looks pretty good too.

It would be better if the pose is slightly different from the box art, the pose seems a bit stiff. I think the Masterbox approach is better in terms of concept and poses.

A 2 part skirt with a full leg will also be welcomed, just in case the modeler decides to alter the pose.

Hi Jim,

A quick visit to IWM shows 7 pages of Colour and 132 pages of B & W pics related to Women during WW2 - plenty of subject choice there.

There were lots of women despatch riders during the war, here's one might link with their Triumph. Lots of Mechanic types too!!



Or if they need some folks to look after the cows! Some Land Girls

These figures look really nice. The bodies are well proportioned and the faces are nicely sculpted.

Maybe Trumpeter could ask Bronco about the sculptor they commissioned to do them
