U.S. GI's come to the MiniArt café in their latest release

"U.S Soldiers in Cafe"
From MiniArt
Kit No #35406
1/35th scale
Sculpting by Sergey Alekhno
The kit contains three figures and their equipment, plus glasses, bottles and furniture in the box.
MiniArt's latest figure set of three figures, cafe furniture and glasses, make this new set, set during the 40s features to US soldiers somewhere in a cafe in the European theatre of operations some time during the WWII era.

There are seven sprues in this kit. Three sprues of figures, a waiter and two G.I.'s
The soldier's weapons and equipment are included, if you want to do maybe a celebration scene after a town's liberation?
The cafe furniture is here
Glass and clear bottles...
...and green glass, red and white bottles
Sculpted by Sergey Alekhno, these figures are shown below, made up and painted very effectively.
The trio in the café, two soldiers enjoying themselves, with a waiter serving them...
All three are seen in the right clothing to identify them as from the 40s, the furniture and food also fit the timeline.
Sharing a drink, this scene could be anywhere in continental Europe during or post-war...
This set will perfectly combine with the recently released (this month) "Café Visitors 1930-40s".
The other kit this will go very well with is this recent release, "British Soldiers in Cafe" from MiniArt, Kit No #35392
also, Kit No #38062 "French Civilians, 1930s - 1940s"...
