Master Box Fraulein, what are you doing today, German Military Men, WW-II era in 1/35th Scale Kit # MB3570
By Shawn Gehling
This is another excellent set based on relaxed poses of six German figures and can be used with just about any soft skinned vehicle, but will work excellent with either the Masterbox Type 170V German Car or their Polizei-Kubelsitzwagen ab 1937.
The Kit:
Contains 1 sprue with 48 pieces that have no flash.
This set contains six (6) figures: One figure is and SS Officer leaning against the vehicle (very relaxed) talking with the occupants. One figure is the enlisted driver of the vehicle. One figure is the enlisted or junior officer passenger (for the front seat) two figures are Senior Officers for the back seat. One is relaxed with his arm on the side of the vehicle. One is relaxed and has his arm on the back of the seat. Then there is the female Auxillary forces figure of which most of the figures interest is on. Four of the figures have holstered sidearms.
The weapons, uniforms and equipment look accurate.
Conclusion: Master Box has done it again, producing six excellent looking figures all in relaxed poses. Individually they are great and can be mixed and matched to fit any softskinned German vehicle or they can be put into a diorama pretty much out of the box once you find the vehicle of your choice.
Uniforms and equipment are covered in numerous books, so information on these should not be too hard to find.
Overall this should build into an outstanding replica and is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys figures. I would like to thank Alexander Surzhenko of Master Box Models for the review kit.
