A question about the seated figure. As I know very little about german uniforms, can I put the seated figure on a Panzer IV Ausf. F during the winter of 1941-42? Thanks. Pablo Montero

Hmmm...resin head look good, but are also not very inspiring - they all have blank expressions; no laughing, talking, shouting, etc. Hope this extra doesn't raise the price of the kits by too much!

Not with those(Wendehosen) trousers.....maybe jan / feb 42 (Source: Andrey Yanovski, December 1941 the issued winter clothing was stuck in Warsaw due to railroad being overstrained and lack of locomotives. So the winter clothing was issued,it simply failed to arrive or rather was arriving late and in insufficient quantities. But this did apply to everything, not only winter clothing)

Silly question: Why would Miniart include a full set of Personal equipment for each soldier, when none of them are molded with belt/straps?

So they can keep the price high!

The fat guy with the the trapper's hat has my vote; doubt that he'd fit in a tank hatch though...

Is this a new thing for them to add resin heads to a plastic set? I have the other Kharkov set with the tank riders but there are only plastic heads which will be changed with some resin Alpine heads. I do like the overall sculpting of this set as well as the tank riders that I have already. Best regards.....Dale
