Preview: 1/35th scale British Tank Repair Crew from MiniArt

We love to see more commonwealth figures from WWII. Now MiniArt has some tankers cleaning their barrel in their latest set. We look at "British Tank Repair Crew" in our preview...

British Tank Repair Crew
From MiniArt
Kit No #35489 
1/35th scale
The box contains four figures
Cleaning a tank's barrel was an important duty for tankers to undertake between actions. If your gun does not work or misfires, well... things would be more than bad. This set is modelled on either British or Commonwealth soldiers cleaning the barrel of their tank's gun, with another two working with tools.

This photo of tankers cleaning the barrel of their Crusader in WWII (colourized) is very close to the figures represented in this set.

MiniArt's new number 1/35th scale British Tank Repair Crew from MiniArt
This set of four figures can be seen doing maintenance on their tank (or other vehicle in the two figures with spanners.) Two are working on tools; the other two are cleaning the barrel of their tank's (or APC's) gun.

They come on four sprues in the box. One figure to each sprue.

This kit will be released next month. You can see more about this kit on the MiniArt Website...
