Al McNeilly must be wetting himself, LOL! To paraphrase Billy Crystal, "They look FABULOUS, Dahling!" You Allied modelers can stop bellyaching about German kit sets.

Very nice. Somewhat reminiscent of the old Tamiya "Desert Rats" and Airfix 8th Army Multi-pose kits but I suppose there are only so many ways one can represent an infantry charge :D Bill: I think we both know there'll be some Allied modellers compaining that it's not a Far East kit, or requesting the same but for the BEF or Normandy :D RR

Very useful post Al, as I said in the news story this is a work in progress so hopefully based on the replies here all the critiques posted, -such as the incorrect rifles, will be rectified. So if anyone has more info for Masterbox beyond asking for addtitional headsets please post it. I have fired the SMLE Alan, though never at the run and I imagine it's not to be recommended as there is an almighty kick off it unless it's tucked well in to your shoulder. As for the Bren, while it is possibl...
