Dragon Models have just announced a NEW, 1/35th scale figure set - with some very interesting aspects to it.
6703 - "March to the West" Western Front 1940
Equipment provided is in the recently named 'Gen2 Gear' type, whereas the figures come into the 39-45 Series.
Yes, it's a set of Germans. Yes, DML have probably around 9000 sets of German Infantry already available. So let's have a look at the aspects of this set which are genuinely interesting and innovative...
Firstly, there are 4 figures with 4 different Uniform styles. An (standard) Infantryman, a Military Policeman (with the rubberised suit used by Motorcyle riders), a Pioneer and an SS infantryman with Camouflaged smock. Apart from these diverse Uniform styles, there's an interesting mix of weapons, some equipment we haven't previously seen much of such as the bandolier for the LMG or the flashlight.
No, the poses aren't tremendously exciting but there are a lot of factors in favor of this set - there aren't too many early war sets available or the attention to providing more than the usual Kar98Ks. I'm not (normally) a fan of sets with diverse Uniform types, in this case, it will definitely add to its utility.
