Masterbox's Two New 35th Scale WWII German letters & barnstorming Brits in our Preview.

Still some of the best box art makers on the market, we take a little look at the forthcoming two new Masterbox kits in 35th scale to see if they measure up to this dramatic promise in our preview...


Masterbox' two new kits of June 2020.
British Infantry - Western Europe (1944-1945)
From: Master Box
1/35th scale
Product Link on the Masterbox Website
The new set - well this one has been sales for a while now - is this set of a British infantry unit in the latter half of the war going into action attacking a doorway or intersection. The kit features five figures of "Tommies" in the late war clothing and weapons - we would think Northern Europe as the full-length clothing is featured.

As you can see on the sprue map on the rear of the box - some figures can be posed in alternate poses with different arm choices - there are also a bunch of British small arms supplied in this kit for choice and flexibility.
We have had these pictures for a while as the kit was slated to be released a looking time ago! The building, of course, is not included, but these figures are made up and placed in front of it to show the scenario.


Urgent Dispatch - German Military Men (WW II era)
From: Master Box
1/35th scale
Product Link on the Masterbox Website
The second set we have rather less information on - but we do know that this set is a set of three figures and one horse and saddle. The kit portrays a liaison officer and a commander who is sending an emergency command by horseback. There is a wireless operator - obviously, with something he doesn't have to do now the horse and rider are doing his work for him, he is seen relaxing - looking on to the scene of the commander, horse and rider.
These two new kits should be available from Masterbox's Distributors in June 2020
