Good set. I would prefer if they didn't have their sleeves rolled up but I'll get them.

I really like the poses of this kit. They convey the desparation of the situation and the poses of these Soldiers firing from behind cover will make them a good addition to any action packed diorama. Since I'm not a World War 2 modeler, I can see some converstion possibilities for these figures to be used as US forces fighting in the Tet Offensive or fighting from behind fallen logs/trees, berms, and paddy dikes.

As always, Masterbox has another good kit in the works.

Cheers,
James

hi there!
Masterbox has done it again! Wonderful poses in this set.
I really like the fact that the figures has rolled up sleeves.
Can't wait to buy one of this!

Cheers.

I'm not a big figure person, but I thought these really captured both emotion and action that most figures don't offer. I like the crisp detail too.

The idea of converting these to other infantry from other eras is very interesting too. That would have never have struck me to use them for that purpose.

Ooh, I like these. Interesting to see the Rommel/Afrika Korps set is due for release soon too. Now this is one I have definitely been waiting for.

I need to live a very long time to paint all of this stuff

Ah MasterBox, you've done it again, made a liar out of me. Swore off of axis figures but, seeing these and the thoughts and ideas just keep hiting me. Must get a set along with those signal troops and, well some of you get the idea. At least the fellow (can't remember who) that used the signal troops in retreat while being covered by the m.g. will know what's in mind. MasterBox is getting a lot of my settlement money, heck might as well enjoy it now cause you can't take it with you latter.

Yezzz... Looking very good and I will pick up more than one set. That's for sure...

I hope that they will do another billion (or two...) of Germans in the future

I don't think you can ever have enough WWII figure sets and I believe that Masterbox feels the same way!!! If they make them I will buy!

Nice poses that although they do remind me of other kits they are different poses. The figures actually look more detailed then the other kits. I will get them.
