Well, how nice are these guys? These are some of the best mainstream figures that I’ve seen in 1:72 scale from any source. The package comprises 30 unpainted figures and all are moulded in a firm grey plastic that should prove easy to work with. Not like the almost vinyl figures of old that were a nightmare to paint and sculpt?
figures
What I really like are the realistic poses and that best feature – the fact that a number of figures (6) have been moulded in parts so that you can pose them exactly as you like. The six figures you can adapt have a mix of separate heads, arms, bodies and legs making for some exciting possibilities – great stuff!
posable figures
The detail on each figure is extremely fine and with careful painting should make an excellent accompaniment to your 1:72nd scale Luftwaffe projects.
The range of different figures is very helpful, involving several pilot figures, as well as ground personnel and that essential accessory, the German shepherd dog!
Painting guide
The package is nicely finished off with a colour painting guide on the reverse of the box. Revell colours are advised but the colours are easily obtained from whatever paint source you prefer.

Highly recommended
