Masterbox have just sent us a series of images of their latest W.i.P. This set should have been done years ago (considering the interest in the subject). but, as is often said, some things are worth waiting for!.

The New set in-progress is:

3582 - SAS in North Africa (1/35th scale)

Now. correctly it should be LRDG, but since we've been waiting for these kind of figures for a long, long time, i'm certainly NOT going to complain. Many have also asked specifically for figures which portray the tasks which take up 90% of a soldier's time. Here they are.

Added to that are the 'LRDG-Specific' figures and Masterbox should be onto a real winner with this set.

So, we had the Chevy 30 Cwt and a LRDG Willys Jeep. Why then, did no other manufacturer not bring out a set of this type? The two previous models have only been around for 30 years or so, was it that difficult to come up with a set of additional figures?

Fortunately, Masterbox (and other companies of this category) don't make their decisions by commitee or we might have been waiting ANOTHER 30 years...

And as a final note, for yet ANOTHER set we've been waiting for, Masterbox have told me that work has started on the Vickers .303 MG. Hopefully we'll have the images shortly!

Our thanks to Alexander for the (very) welcome Update!
