Like Dragon, while the contents are very good, the box art makes them more appealing. Maybe they should have painted up examples of the actual figures on the box cover so you know exactly what they look like...or just buy lots of Hornet heads, etc.

Thanks for the review, Brian. The figures look promising and the little cart could be used in a variety of dioramas, including post-war.

I think the box art is excellent if a little misleading, the actual jacket on the figure is late war but the illustration is of an earlier style. I think the figures will paint up well and I may well try and build him shortly to see what he looks like. I've got to finish a Comet first.

My thoughts are that you can modify the jackets into civilian types and add luggage to make them look like refuges fleeing.....at least that's my plans for the this kit.

Add luggage onto the cart that is, opposed to the weapons.....
