Figure reviews
FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM
Having been released in several iterations by the riginal producer, Italian firm Esci, this pack of World War Two-era partisan figures has now entered Italeri’s range.
BEHIND THE WHEEL
Modellers needing figures for their ANZAC Model T LCP/Utility vehicles will find ICM’s driver set ideal.
ESSENTIAL BUSINESS
Czech kit and accessory manufacturer AB&K has released a neat instant vignette, in the form of a resin pit-type outhouse and a German soldier who is undertaking ‘essential business’ – both items are available separately (as 35002 and 35003 respectively), the latter with a rather colourful title!
AGEING RAIDER
The first of Master Box’s post-apocalypse Desert Battle Series figures portrays a long-lived member of the Skull Clan named Vadim.
‘RUPERT’ TANKER
Inspired by wartime artist WJP Jones’ satirical cartoons, White Whiskers No.1 is the first in a fourpiece series of caricature-type figures.
GERMAN GROUNDCREW
Builders of German airfield dioramas will find this three-piece resin mechanic figure very useful – it is posed as if walking to/from an aircraft while carrying an open-topped wooden toolbox.
MOVING TO POSITION
ICM’s third SWAT Team figure is posed as if moving forward with an M4 rifle in the ready position, alert to any potential threat.
DISASTER SPRAYERS
Here’s another addition to ICM’s selection of packages inspired by the TV mini-series Chernobyl, in the form of its 1/35 Deactivators, clothed in protective gear and spraying areas with chemicals or water to prevent the spread of radioactive material.
READY FOR TAKE-OFF
Ideal as an accompaniment for Eduard’s recent MiG-21PF/PFM kits, this beautifully detailed resin set comprises a standing pilot figure and a member of the groundcrew.
LEADER OF THE PACK
The second figure in Master Box’s post-apocalypse Desert Battle Series depicts a ‘new leader’ of the Skull Clan: Hanna.
