A couple of Mongoose/geese? New Master Box kits of November-December 2024.

Buggy Mongoose. The Ukrainian Combat Vehicle, basic version
From Masterbox
Kit No #35239 
1/35th Scale
Kit 35239 continues the series of kits dedicated to the Russian-Ukrainian war events. The Ukrainian Armed Forces use the most various equipment: the equipment of their own production, equipment from old Soviet stockpiles, and equipment provided generously by the countries supporting Ukraine in this war. One of the popular vehicles is a Buggy of various types and from different manufacturers.

The kit includes a Buggy, called the "Mongoose". This buggy is valuable especially because it is produced by the Ukrainian businesses. The model represents the basic version. Exactly in such view the Buggy is delivered to the troops, and already in the units, by the efforts of the repair teams, the machine is equipped with additional ammunition and the most various mounted means of fire.
Thanks to the cooperation of Master Box Ltd. company with the enterprise that produces these machines, it was possible to create a very accurate copy of the Mongoose.
The kit includes two plastic sprues with the parts for assembling the model, photo-etched parts for assembling particularly delicate parts and a set of five rubber wheels.


Buggy Mongoose. The Ukrainian Battlefield evacuation version
From Masterbox
Kit No #35240 
1/35th Scale
Kit 35240 continues the series of kits dedicated to the Russian-Ukrainian war. The kit includes a Buggy "Mongoose". This machine is valuable especially because it is produced by the Ukrainian enterprise. The model represents an evacuation version.

In the conditions of the war in Ukraine, the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield has become a very difficult problem. Heavy armoured evacuation transport does not have the ability to approach the trenches closer than a kilometre without a risk of being immediately destroyed, and the presence of a large number of FPV drones and reconnaissance drones of the enemy does not allow carrying the wounded out by the comrades and the wounded have to wait for the evacuation for many hours. In these conditions, a fast, manoeuvrable and small-sized car with the qualities of the SUV is a good solution.
The kit includes two plastic sprues with the parts for assembling the model, photo-etched parts for assembling particularly delicate parts and a set of five rubber wheels.
In the future Master Box plan to release this vehicle with the figures in several versions.
