By way of an 'advance' here are images of Masterbox Ltd.'s first figure set of Japanese Infantry in 1/35th scale.
By way of introduction, a bit of background to this set. Masterbox were the company who effectively pioneered (in plastic), two different approaches. The first of these was the 'Vignette-in-a-Box' by this the company produced a series of 'linked' figures which served as the basis for a small diorama. The second innovation was to produce a series of sets for the same period/campaign. This was introduced in their Barbarossa-themed sets which consisted of a Soviet & German set along with a third which had troops of BOTH nationalities.
This set, is one of three covering the 1943 Tarawa Campaign. There will be three sets - one Japanese, one U.S.M.C. and the third containg figures of the two combatants. This is the first (Japanese) set:
3542 - "Japanese Special Naval Landing Force Tarawa, 1943"
This is a four-figure set covering Japanese Naval Infantry. As we have come to expect from the company, the level of animation is very high. Basically, what is being portayed is an infantry counterattack.
This set will feature in a FULL build Review shortly, meanwhile, as a 'taster' some images of the sprues and their contents.
My thanks to Masterbox Ltd. for giving me an example of the set!
