Another interesting little vignette in a box, at an affordable price.
Thanks for the review Jim.

Hi,
Thanks Jim for the review.
Masterbox is doing really well : originality, details, price etc..
I love this set not for the germans which there is load of on the market (depite there is not so much feldgendarm if fact), but for the figure. This is the first time there afordable and nicely sculpted civilian figures on the market (the Preiser one are nice but rather undetailled and expensive).
Thanks Jim and masterbox, keep the kit coming !

As usual Jim agood detailed balanced review. The only thing I would mention, after studying the box art & the sprues, is that two out of three of the soldiers are clearly wearing the motorcycle coat rather than greatcoats, the give-away is the large "baggy" rounded pockets & the profusion of tabs round the skirts (so it can be fastened around the legs when riding a motorbike). This is even more rarely modelled, apart from some hideous old Tamiya figures & the Dragon MPs set, now OOP.

Steve - yes, sorry, my bad It ISN'T the greatcoat, but rather the rubberized motorcyclists coat. This is also a bonus as it's the first time in plastic (not even going to consider the Tamiya one in the 1970s ). Thanks for pointing that out...
