German tank riders. Winter uniform 1944-45
From MiniArt
Kit No #35370
1/35th scale
The box contains four figures of German tank riders.
Following on from last months set from MiniArt of their number #35370 "German tank riders. Winter uniform 1944-45", we have a another set of infantry ready to mount and dismount at your will. Four more figures in plastic of German soldiers from the latter period of World War Two in thick camouflage smocks to sit on the deck of your German tank. In the artwork for this second set, again the soldiers look quite placid, sitting passively on the deck as they travel along or at rest. It is hard to tell their actual body language from the sprues.

Speaking of the sprues, here are the four figures below unbuilt...
There is also a sprue of various German weapons of the era, the Kar.98, Mp-40, a Walther pistol, holstered pistols, map cases, ammo pouches, a bayonet and even a flare gun!
Paratrooper and M1943 helmets, bread bags, bayonets, an entrenching tool, flasks and gas mask canisters are also included in a vast array of gear.
Not wanting to leave anything out, the Mp44, the earlier war sub-machine guns and even the Luftwaffe issued  Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 is also included.
This kit will most probably be released in next month. We hope to get one to put together for you.
