Up until now, I haven't seen any of Zvezda's previous figure
releases. This set represents four German Panzer Grenadiers,
one perched on the engine deck of a tank pointing at something,
a second peering from behind the turret, while the other two
are walking alongside.
The upper torsos are molded separately from the left leg and
right leg parts. The two arms are also cast separately, so
fine tuning the pose to suit your tank will be a snap. The
helmets are separate from the faces, which will make painting
much easier. The detail on the faces are as nice as many of
the resin releases we regularly see here, so they should be
great for most modelers out of the box.
In their usual thorough fashion, Zvezda also includes lots
of gear, with bed rolls, butt packs, canteens, shovels, and
mess kits included. The rear of the box features full color
front and back profiles of each figure for recommended gear
placement and colors.
Conclusions
Zvezda continues to turn out some interesting kits and these
German Panzer Grenadiers are a nice example. You can find this
kit at your local hobby retailer or directly from
Squadron Mail Order (www.squadron.com).
My sincere thanks to Squadron
