Did you guys notice these two figures in Masterbox's display at Nurnberg? Are these two real figures they are planning to release, or did they just use them to spice up the display? They would definitely make a fun diorama

Looks like MB dropped the Italian Infantry from the "In progress" for bathing Babes instead... !!!!! I would still prefer the Italian Infantry figs over these babes though.

Did they? Still nice that there will be plastic, female figures. And not just the occasional; one out of four figures, WWII Soviet solider/assistant.

Plus it's a more interesting set with poses and subject matter usually left to resin anyways.

EDIT: I just thought, it might not be hard to convert the lady on the left into a bar maid for the occasional 'soldiers on leave in Paris' dioramas we see every now and then

I was thinking of something like two girls having a bath in some farm house.. and a couple of soldiers peaking at them from behind some bushes or something... just a little change of pace for some fun

All war and no play makes modeller....

Hmmm...a brief cease-fire while both sides reconnoitre the area.

I think "cease-fire" may be the wrong term.
Maybe friendly fire...

Edit: I did not notice too much consideration over bathing suites, when I was in Europe. Most people disrobed entirely. This, my father says, was true for the early 70s as well.

They were too busy gawking at the boobies and did not want to be seen doing that so they remained hidden from view .
