| Subject: | New plastic W.W. II figs from Mini Art, Ukraine |  |
| Date: | May 3, 2003 |
| From: | David Nickels | |
I just got three nice sets of plastic figures made by an aparently new company in the Ukraine called Mini Art.
Set 35001 is Soviet Infantry at Rest 1943-45
Set 35002 is Soviet Infantry on the Move 43-45
Set 35003 is German Tank Crew
The Soviet sets give four figures each. The set at rest is a group of casual tank riders rolling cigarettes on the back of a T-34. The set on the Move are basic walking poses in a variety of uniforms. This set also has a dozen different arms and heads, and the back of the box lists over 15 alternative poses. Various weapons, machineguns, anti-tank rifles, etc., are provided for the different poses, too.
German set has five crewmen for a Panzer IV posed in all the hatches.
The level of detail is really good, and the figures have good, relaxed poses. Detail is,however, a little soft and the molding will take a lot of cleanup. Still, VERY ambitious looking first efforts and very unique. Even with all the assorted German figs on the market there is not one plastic set of a whole tank crew posed in the vehicle. |
