Thanks!

Well done MasterBox it is good to see some manufacturers that listen to their customers, and a suggestion that broadens the appeal of their products.

Looks very very nice! I want to get a set!

Except that they have early-WW2 uniforms on. These guys would work for the late 1930s through maybe 1943. Are you sure we're talking about the correct set?

I'ld rather MB released both the 4 and 5 man crews . I'm not too worried about 100% uniform accuracy ,( and the cat don't care ) I just need a lot more crews for my T-34s .Getting tired of hacking up all those Tamiya figures.
I think some of the guys were hoping for extra heads wearing a later (1950s ? ) style helmet .

Correct

OK, but a 1950s style helmet on a pre-1943 uniform is still not quite right. Close, but not right.....

I think the 5 figure set that was shown about a week ago had later war uniforms (, they were sitting on a T-34 / 85). Would they , be correct for the 50/60s with a change in headgear

This isn't an update of the previously previewed set, it's a completely different set - this one is a bail-out set, the other a mounted crew at rest. The bail-out set, this one, should be numbered 3569 and titled "Soviet Tankmen,1940-1943". The previously announced set is 3568 "Soviet Tankmen,1943-1945".

Thanks for the clarification Tarok. Thought it was a little weird having both sets with the same number . I thought MB really decided to revamp their figures , from 5 to 4 ..
Why another bail out set , they did one already -#3532 ? Or is that one being discontinued ? Either way a big thank you to MB for all the great figure sets they have under development , and pls keep them coming. Jim
