This is new release from Tristar. The figures are designed to be used with the Dragon "Nashorn/Hummel" or Tamiya "Marder III/Marder III M".

The kit consists of two sprues molded in grey color plastic, two brass shells, one is for 8.8cm Pak 45 as used on the Nashorn, the other is for the 7.5cm Pak 40 used with the Marder III M. The sprue "A" consists of five full SP crew figures and one half Sp crew figure plus two extra heads, which broken down into heads with cap, torso, arms, legs. Sprue "B" consists of Helmets, MP-40, Canteen...etc.

Yoshi Hirano has done a very excellent job. The faces are in well animated. All the uniform folds, strap...etc looks great. The back of box art had the full color images of the figures as a printing guide as well as for assembly.There are also have enlarge diagrams of the rank insignia for printing reference.

The kit look like an easy building and fitting. It is another excellent figure set from Tristar. The price is low relative to most resin figures.

Highly recommended.
