Nice figures, but what is with the "Blue Aquare" name???? I don't get it.

I cannot answer that as RADO has been selected.

Holding Mauser like that looks somehow weird to me but of course its possible. Also ammo bouches for MP40 should be hanging from belt with some angle and not so vertical as they are, but maybe i am wrong...

Marko,
It does look a bit on the awkward side, but I do like that the hand is molded onto the weapon. I hate the gaps trying to fit a rifle into a molded open hand; almost never looks convincing.
Thanks for taking a close look.
Cheers,
Rick

REGULAR US GIs and British/Polish/Canadian/Commonwealth Troops, "Normandy, Summer, 1944" would also be appreciated. Getting sick of 1/35 SS and Allied Paras getting the only credit...

Hi, Marko! I don't see anything wrong with that SS holding his Mauser in that fashion. Candid photos of troops of all Nations and eras show them as holding their weapons in nearly every fashion that they wish. Also, ammo pouches do move around, depending on the way that they are attached to web or leather suspension equipment...

Don't see a problem; they're obviously not expecting immediate action and are cooling their heels. The MP mag pouches are okay at that angle; they'd be wrong if they were more vertical, though.
