Master Box's two new kits of March/April

“Napoleonic Wars Series. Dragoon Regiment of the Imperial Guard,
The Battle of Friedland, June 14, 1807. Officer / Senior Sergeant”
From Masterbox
Kit No. #32023
1/32nd scale
Kit 32023 continues the series of Napoleonic Wars-themed kits from Master Box. They feature a set of parts to assemble a figure of the Dragoon Guard. During the Napoleonic Wars, Dragoons evolved from mounted infantry to a formidable cavalry force, rivaling traditional types like Hussars and Cuirassiers in combat.
The CADs show the figure as sculptured. The plastic will be slightly different, no doubt.
The figure is crafted at a high artistic level, making it a miniature sculpture. Modellers can create a captivating vignette using this figure alone or a large-scale combat scene with other figures from the series.


"Russian-Ukrainian War Series: Buggy Mongoose"
From Masterbox
1/35th scale
Kit 35246
Three figures & Mongoose included.
Kit 35246 continues the Russian-Ukrainian War series of kits, highlighting the Ukrainian Battlefield evacuation version with a crew. This kit includes two plastic sprues. One sprue contains the parts to assemble three Ukrainian Army fighters: two medics and one wounded.
The second sprue features the evacuation buggy "Mongoose," a Ukrainian utility & evacuation vehicle. Medics provide first aid to the wounded before loading him into the car. A female medic figure can be assembled in two versions: treating a patient or guarding the area with a machine gun.
