Hello
I just found a info about a new product from Masterbox Modern UK Infantryman 35180. Can somebody tell me if this set is suitable for Iraq or Afghanistan. If yes what type of uniforms do they wear and what is a right time period ?
Thank You for help

Since one of camouflage variants is what seems to be a Multi-Terrain Pattern introduced in March 2010 and 3 soldiers wear what looks like Mk. 7 helmet introduced in June 2009, I would say these figures are suitable for post 2010 Afghanistan but not for Iraq.

Why would they not be suitable for post-2010 Iraq?

According to Wikipedia by May 2009 Brits have virtually left Iraq.

Quoted Text

The bulk of the mission ended on 30 April 2009 but around 150 troops, mainly from the Royal Navy, remained in Iraq until 22 May 2011 as part of the Iraqi Training and Advisory Mission.
