Figure reviews
GALLIC AIRMEN
PJ Production has produced the perfect accompaniment for any 1/72 Rafale (regardless of whether it’s a single-seater or twin-stick variant), in the form of a pair of well-cast pilots.
IMPERIAL CREWS
This mix of airmen and groundcrew will make for an instant World War One German aircraft vignette, as it comprises three single-piece figures.
TACTICAL WATCH
Depicted in the kneeling position and armed with a Beretta 92-series pistol and slung M4A1 carbine, ICM’s fourth Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team member makes for an imposing presence.
ARMED WORKER
ToRo Model’s splendid Silesian Uprising figures are joined by a resin four-piece armed railway company worker, complete with a styrene two-part rifle, courtesy of a collaboration with ICM.
Typhoon Driver
Mitches Military Models brings its figures up to date with this stunning 120mm scale five-piece ensemble.
War-Weary Soldiers
This newly tooled selection of 1/35 figures from Tamiya represents five Wehrmacht infantrymen as they appeared during World War Two’s ‘middle’ period.
Post-War Breakaway
ToRo Model has continued its range of Silesian Uprising figures with that of Lt Robert Oszek, who formed a naval special assault squad and was involved in the battle of Annaberg in May 1921.
Loaders and Fixers
Although intended for its ‘Art of Tactic’ wargaming system, Zvezda’s quintet of 1/72 Luftwaffe ground crew – including a bomb-carrying trolley – is equally suitable for adding to aircraft maintenance dioramas.
Shirtsleeves and Shorts
ICM has added another trio of aircrew to its range of 1/32 figures with this selection representing two pilots and an officer wearing uniform suitable for the hot and humid conditions experienced in World War Two’s tropical theatres.
