A couple of weeks ago, I ran an Image report on WIP (Work-in-Progress) of a future set from Masterbox Ltd.. Now, dealing with the same set, we bring an update along with some real kudos for those who participate regularly in the Forums..

The original photos included a Resistance fighter giving medical attention to a wounded German infantryman. However, after reading the comments following the original news story, the company felt that, given the brutal nature of this type of warfare, it was not entirely plausible. Therefore, in the interests of realism, the two figures have been changed to include a surrendered German and a member of the Maquis searching him.

There are, perhaps, two lessons to learn from all of this:

Firstly, that your comments in the Forums (particularly related to the 'What's New' threads) are incredibly useful to manufacturers such as Masterbox.

Secondly, that there ARE companies out there, who believe that, ultimately, the feedback from modelers is vital to improve their products and are NOT afraid to act on suggestions.

Kudos to both Masterbox and to those whose comments may help to make an excellent subject even better...

Finally, our thanks (as always) to Masterbox Ltd. for keeping us informed of their work...
