Wos, very impressive looking sets! I think the Hand to hand looks the best, I see a Stalingrad dio already! Seen a couple sets in our LHS, and price isn't too bad, about 9.99-11-99, very reasonable!

Hand-to-hand combat using shovels and helmets.... superb. I presume tht the German set, whilst named "Eastern Front 41-42" can also be used for a Western Europe themed dio in 1940. Great stuff. Now, to complement this I would love to see a set of 1940 Dutch Marines, fighting of the Germans around Rotterdam or the afsluitdijk... Cheers Henk

Some interesting looking kits coming out from MB. I have worked on several of their other kits and found them to be well made and with plenty of detail. The main problem I have found is the heads, most are too squat and have the always tricky seams along the sides of the heads. I usually go with Hornet heads and presto, the figures look terrific. I like the way MB has the figures in normal or action poses, walking, moving, hands in pockets etc.... Nicely done thus far and am looking forward to the new figures. Ironmike

Hi there Thanks for the news. They look good, and would fit any close-combat dios. Cheers Simon

Shoot I could have used this in my Russian human wave dio. I guess I can still add more figures.

Hi guys, The MasterBox kits are generally great quality at a reasonable price(in Belgium anyway),their only downfall that i can say is that they are a big 1/35.As Frank mentioned the possibility of using a head from Hornet is viable but the heads would have to be very full,a gaunt looking face wouldn't go so well on these figures. I like the the new selection of kits,especially the hand to hand combat set.MB seem to be coming up with some inventive poses. Here's a nice pose of one of the MB US Paratrooper figures (wip) that i'll be using in a campaign on the Benelux site: cheers,Shay

Yes, I will have to agree. Masterbox figure sets are good to go. I bought a set of German Military Men 1939-42 (MB3510), and was very impressed with the level of detail. Its good to see Masterbox coming out with some new items. I recommend them to anyone who builds 1/35th armor/figures/diorama Thanks for the heads-up Jim Cheers !! Robert

Oh Yeah! MB rocks! As far as I'm concerned,these guys have already jumped to the front of styrene figgy makers. Awesome poses.All the criticism so far is either a preference wish or a simple skill fix. Plus,the boxes are small enough to hide better from you-know-who! Cheers!

Any idea of the release dates for these and those American Sets?
