I don't know, no one seems to pointing...
seriously these look like good kits, MB have some great ideas. Hope the mould quality is good, would be a shame to blunder such interesting poses.
Thanks for the update.

These are very appealing sets. A number of settings come to mind from urban to rural to pushing through a hedgerow. Maybe even coming up on some unsuspecting Germans milking a cow . . . The cart could easily stand alone and the civilian figures look like they could cover a broad spectrum of time frames. I really like what MasterBox has been coming up with.

a really nice set, my only gripe would be the helmets, looking at the box art you've got netting and scrim on the helmets as was the standard practice with airbourne divisions, but the built up shots of the figures shows no evidence of either, if anything they look like Marines helmets with the cover on. but other than that they're a fantastic set, it's rare to see paratroopers in plastic which is a shame, i know dragon has done several sets, but i think most manufacturers missed the ball when band of brothers came out, they should have flooded the market with para sets, just glad that masterbox keeps breaking away from the norm with their unique and unusual figure sets. more like this please

Very nice looking set.M.B.really is doing a nice job on their releases.I haven't done a WWII dio in quite some time,but I think I'll do one just for these figures. I just recieved their domestic animals and citizentry sets.The citizens I'm going to convert to Afgani or Iraqi without to much work.

You have to give Masterbox credit. They come up with great figure concepts and poses. The molding is still a little behind the times but light years ahead of DML in terms of ideas. They are the little company you want to see make good.

These look good. I'd only maybe change the heads and helmets. They look a little off to me. Kudos to MB!

These are very nice! Great poses and instant story to boot! Just can't have too many civilians in any era/war. They were never that far away from the action.Maybe Afrika...
Cheers!

I hate Masterbox. Each time I decide that I won't buy a new kit they come up with something that fits the old Chandler description:

It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window

This kits are beautiful and bring up tons of ideas, even more so since I currently browse through the old movies like "A bridge to far", "The longest day" etc. Maybe combine this and the British Paratrooper kit...
