The Ukrainian manufacturer, MasterBox Ltd will shortly be releasing six new, 1/35th scale figure sets. here's a report on what to expect...

Back in february, at the Nuremberg Trade Fair, I was fortunate enough to meet the people behind MasterBox and I was given a look at some of the initial mouldings of some of the projects which will be available in the course of this year.

MasterBox are a company who, perhaps more than any other, produce figure sets which complement one another - almost an 'instant' vignette in the box! These new releases follow this very unique approach. Also notable, is the animation of their figures - the company are undoubtedly doing some of the most 'active' figures on the market today!

The New releases - All are 1/35th scale, Plastic:

3519 - U.S. Machine-gunners - two figures and a Browning A 1917 MG

3520 - D-Day", 6th June 1944 these portay troops of the 29th Infantry division during the initial assault on Omaha.

3521 - U.S. Infantry, July 1944

3525 - Skatspieler One of their 'vignette' sets consisting of four figures playing cards round an impromptu table made of jerry cans.

3526 - German Machine-Gunners, Eastern front 1944 An unusual set this, consisting of three late-war German Infantry and an MG 08 HMG (rather than the usual MG34/42)

3527 - Checkpoint This set consists of six figures - three German figures and (VERY welcome in plastic), three civilians along with a pole barrier and sentry box.

Three of these sets will soon feature as reviews on this site (3520, 3521 & 3526), meanwhile, as in indication of what to expect in the quality of the MasterBox products, this link will take you to the page linking all the reviews that have been done here: MasterBox Reviews Page
