theres enough to populate the a vehicle the size of a 1:35 scale Tiger 1
as can be seen in the illustration here of a set painted by Stuart Bell.
They will of course fit on other tanks and by swapping bits around more
than 10 men can travel on the vehicle of your choice. They have also been
made avaliable as individual kits, and not as a complete set, so single
figures or ones or twos can be purchased when and if required. However collectively
it must be said they look impressive. For anyone interested the ten figure
set is avaliable for £61, a saving of £8 on the single purcahse price.
Poses are very natural, and some are very relaxed, like the man who sits
on the turret front, his legs astride the gun barrel,(G15). The figures
are cast in a cream coloured resin and smaller parts are cast on to blocks
and their careful removal is essential a fine photetched saw blade is ideal
for this if you have one., but be careful with a a knife because tiny parts
will break, or fly into orbit never to be seen again. Once claned up the
figures assemble easily enough with super glue and a wipe of filler will
be needed on some joins.
