News of three widely-anticipated releases from Masterbox Ltd. have just reached us. Two new figure sets and another variant on the Type 170 V are on offer and all in 1/35th Scale.
Starting with the 1/35th Scale Figure Sets:

MB 3598 - LRDG in North Africa, WWII era

The kit includes 1 sprue that consists of parts for assembling 5 figures of troopers from the Long Range Desert Group of the British Army in North Africa during WWII. The kit contains: a driver, 2 troopers and 2 officers.

The set is designed to be suitable for ANY of the vehicles which are available to model the LRDG.

MB 3599 - Patroling. Vietnam War series

This is the first in a completely new series from Masterbox Ltd which will be covering many of the combatants (and civilians) of the Vietnam War.

The kit includes 2 sprues. One sprue contains parts for assembling 5 figures (a Vietnamese woman and 4 servicemen of the US Army. The other sprue contains parts for equipment and weapons.

Extra equipment is provided to use with other figures.

Finally, another 1/35th Scale Vehicle:

MB 35101 - German Staff Car, Type 170 V, Kuebelwagen, Fruehere Ausfuehrung, 1936

Although both kits (MB 35100 - "German military car, Typ 170 V and MB 35101 - German Staff Car, Type 170 V, Kuebelwagen 1936) are modifications of the Mercedes Benz V170, these 2 models are very different when built...

Yes, the car "without nothing" looks very interesting! I saved the image in my collection of boxarts. Perhaps this will be one of my next plans! greetings... Soeren.

It's great to see some new plastic Vietnam era figures, I will definately be getting these. Hopefully plenty more to come as well, glad to see us Vietnam era modellers getting a look in now-a-days. Regards David

I think those two figure sets will be very sought after especially the LRDG figures with the American GI's being very close behind.

I've added 3 more images which show the reverse of the box (with the finished figures). Also, the Release Date for these 3 sets will be November 1.
