This kit is packed as Plus Models typically their resin figure kits. It consists of a box with the finished/painted model pictured on the front. The figure pieces are in a sealed plastic bag shipped in bubble wrap. All the pieces were intact with nothing broken.
The kit
The kit is made up of nine (9) resin parts cast in a green/gray resin with minimal flash and seam lines. The parts break down as follows: Male body Female body Man's left arm, right hand Woman's arms Walking stick and tote bag Crutch
general impression
This is an interesting kit with a couple of characters that might be seen in a variety of situations from fleeing refugees to folks just unfortunately caught up in the battle. The male figure (Disabled Man) has his head bandaged, right arm in a sling and is walking with a crutch. The female figure (Granny) is hunched over, walking and carrying a walking stick. She has a dead rabbit hanging from her belt and carries a tote bag slung over her shoulder.
SUMMARY
Highs: Interesting subjects, crisply castLows: Female casting lug attaches to the top of her head which might present a problem. Casting lugs attach at the shoulders and fingers of the arm castings, the builder will have to be very careful detaching the finger points so detail isn't damaged or lost.Verdict: You can never have enough civilians/refugees around. These two are interesting and should be fun to build and paint up

Nice review, thanks.
very interesting set with quite a lot of potential. I can see them in a fall of the low Countries or France setting, where the Germans used fleeing refugees to block roads. Also possibly Eastern front and Liberation of France dioramas.
Great set
