German AVF Crew - Special Edition
From MiniArt
Kit No #35415
1/35th scale
The kit contains five figures, with extra weapons & equipment in the box.
MiniArt have brought back another popular kit that has long been out of print. Those of you with an AFV crew will be happy to see more crews on the market for your open top TD's. This set had its first showing in kit no #35054, titled "German SPG Crew Riders". 

This is how they look made up & the box art from the original release. What are the new additions then?

The special edition kit:
Here are the sprues of the five figures, as you can see from the plastic above, nothing has been changed to these figures, they don't look too bad, and their faces work OK, we think.

Three figures on this sprue, these feature the original equipment and weapons...
A sprue with equipment is added to this set. More in the style of AFV crew, there are M43 Steel helmets, binoculars & case, entrenching tools in sheath & uncovered. Bead bags, flask, mess tin, gas mas cannister and some bayonets are included in this kit to expand these soldiers and give them some depth.
This kit is due for release in a month's time
