Just saw below at Perth military modelling. MS-0012 - Private of the 101st Airborne Division (Iraq 2005)

Any accuracy issues?

You don't have to go all the way to PMMS; we had news on these figures published couple of days ago on Historicus Forma:

As far as I can see from the pics, the figures look good. Hopefully you will be able to read more on those in a review on HF...

PMMS would have had it before then.

Anyway, good looking figures! Can't wait to get these to add to the stash!

The modern (ACU etc) figure looks really good, absolutely must get my hands on that. Nice to see an ODS figure as well, i'd sure like to see some more well sculpted ODS subjects.

Not sure I follow this one; we published the news story about these figures on the 25th and PMMS just yesterday, on the 28th.

As for the ACU figure, it would look good with the latest NATO in Miniatures offerings: link

Yep that comment had me stumped as well Mario. I must say, when it comes to figure announcements you guys do a terrific job! And yep, that figure fits perfectly alongside those. Very pleasing to see more companies take up modern US subjects.

Thanks for that, Rob.

As for the figures, I think the Minisoldiers ACU was originally designed to go with the NATO in Miniatures figures, but somehow it was released under different label. I'm pretty sure we'll have reviews of these figures published at HFM... hopefully in August.

Mario, thanks for the heads up and the HF link- I missed it.
As for the accuracy issue, I wanted some feedback about the trousers not being tucked into the boots- it's a minor issue but I've read that they should be tucked in.

Good call, James. I don't think I have seen any photos of ACU trousers worn this way during the OIF. I'll have to double check my references.
