MasterBox has three new sets hitting the market in 1/35th scale that should get some ideas bouncing around in the heads of modellers, these new offerings are German Infantry Weapons, WW II era, Urgent dispatch. German military radio car Sd.Kfz. 2 Type 170VK with crew, WW II era, and Dogs in service in the US Marine Corps, WW II era.
MB 35115 - “German Infantry Weapons, WW II era”
The kit includes one sprue with weapons of German Infantry of WW II era. Please, pay special attention that besides standard list of shooting weapons, we included in a kit also a couple of unusual weapons, they are Bergmann MP-34 Submachine Gun and German modification of Soviet Submachine Gun PPSH-41 МP 717 (r), at the same time the modeller has the opportunity to assemble German, as well as Soviet version of PPSH Submachine Gun at his choice. Besides weapons, the kit includes also elements of equipment – pouches, cases of gas masks, machinegun belts, shovels, helmets and so on.

MB 35151 - "Urgent dispatch. German military radio car Sd.Kfz. 2 Type 170VK with crew, WW II era"
The kit includes sprues with parts for assembling German military car Mercedes 170 VK in version of radio-car and sprues with parts for assembling figures of 4 German military men and a figure of horse, the crew of the car consists of military officer, radio operator, driver and cavalry courier – military officer-aide.

MB 35155 - “Dogs in service in the US Marine Corps, WW II era”
The kit includes one sprue with parts for assembling figures of 3 Marines and of 3 dogs. We would like to emphasize especially that dogs of different breeds were used by the US Infantry widely in fights in the Pacific Ocean, but Marine Corps used only breed of Doberman.

Having owned a Doberman I'll get the dog set Not for me,If they had included a panzerschreck and a heavy MG tripod maybe, but Masterbox equipment and weapons are not anything special and the only really useful and not readily available pieces are the Bergmanns and the Kar 98s with fixed bayonets.

Not that it would put me off buying this set but this is not true -there are plenty of photos of Marines using different breeds of dogs in the pacific including Labradors and German Shepherds.
