Special Hobby have sent us CAD images of a trio of multi-part 1:35 resin figures of modern-day US infantry that will form part of their CMK range.

No night vision mount brackets on the front the helmet of the kneeling guy? Crazy - they're not British infantry.

It could just be me, but their features(head, feet, etc.) seem disproportionate. I noticed this, with another set of figures I recently purchased.

The CMK SOPMOD M4s lack the barrel rails and top row of horizontal holes.

Fortunately, there are 1/35 Trumpeter, Live-Resin, and Airborne Miniatures's SOPMOD M4s to remedy this.

And where are the vest magazine ammo pouches? Again, Live-Resin has these pouches, but still most manufacturers don't show CAD images unless they're complete, so I assume that this is still a work in progress.
