MasterBox has three new sets hitting the market in 1/35th scale that should get some ideas bouncing around in the heads of modellers, these new offerings are German Infantry Weapons, WW II era, Urgent dispatch. German military radio car Sd.Kfz. 2 Type 170VK with crew WW II era, and Dogs in service in the US Marine Corps WW II era.

Not for me,If they had included a panzerschreck and a heavy MG tripod maybe, but Masterbox equipment and weapons are not anything special and the only really useful and not readily available pieces are the Bergmanns and the Kar 98s with fixed bayonets.

We would like to emphasize especially that dogs of different breeds were used by the US Infantry widely in fights in the Pacific Ocean, but Marine Corps used only breed of Doberman.



Not that it would put me off buying this set but this is not true -there are plenty of photos of Marines using different breeds of dogs in the pacific including Labradors and German Shepherds.

Hi
If I remember there's a film on the USMC War Dogs from WW2.
It's about an hour long & they used all breeds of dogs.
most where on loan from the civilian population & where retrained & returned to there original owners after the war.
