Due out next month this kit ( number 3628 ) looks to put the days of Zvezda figures being of questionable quality well and truely in the past. Not only do you a get a nice looking weapons canister with an interior but in an unusual, but most welcome, move there is also a partially collapsed parachute included with which to depict one of the figures having just landed.
AT LAST the likes of Italeri/Zvezda (mass producers) understand to better mould the hands ON the weapons to reproduce better figures.
Any gap around the wrist can always be easily filled/altered..whereas it was and is always a mess to fit or place rifles, pistols, machine guns in the necessarily wide open stretched hands.
Now where is Tamiya ? Dragon ? to follow this example.
Awesome! mould to have a landing parachute (will it be standard in the box or only a promotion first edition stunt?) and a detailed open cannister.
Congrats to the master moddellers of Zvezda!
Next we’d like to see similar moulds for british and US paras.
Yeah not just that but you actually get it as an option so you can do them either way. Be nice if the bigger manufacturers took note of this and adopted it.
very very cool. I usually butcher figures, so avoid them. But if you could get a decent Brit set to ‘Kiwi-ise’, this would make for a great diorama setting somwhow…
Some sort of Maleme based scene ?
