We would like to inform you about our new kits of January-February 2015:

35146 "British Infantry, Somme Battle Period, 1916" - The kit consists of one plastic sprue with parts for assembly of 5 figures of British military men of Somme Battle period, 1916. The story of the kit is that the group of British soldiers who went out from hell of attack just now is listening to new introductory from their officer before the next attack. The special appeal is given to the kit by a characteristic mess of soldiers who were in the fight and non-statutory elements of uniform adding recognizable aspect of front-line-trench soldier to soldiers. We will state also the nuance that this characteristic mess of soldiers makes up a good emotional contrast with neat appearance of the officer. The figures are animated very well, interact with each other well and they can be used at modeller’s will both all together and separately, if the modeller wants to create own story of the diorama. Besides, both an independent vignette with offered story can be created from the kit and the kit can be used together with accessories and models of this period from other manufacturers. The kit is made in 1/35 scale.



35171 "German soldier-bicyclist, 1939-1942" - The kit consists of 3 plastic sprues and one sprue with photo-etched parts allowing assembling of the figure of German soldier with the bicycle. The model of German military bicycle of WW II era in 1/35 scale that is included in the kit is given in detail very well and the modeller can assemble the model in some different configurations depending upon the cargo that is fastened on the bicycle. There is standard variant, carrier of mines, carrier of panzerfaust and carrier of machinegun here. We would like to emphasize especially that the whole equipment that is included in the kit and that will not be used will become a good development of “modeller’s collection” and will become a rich material for using in other dioramas or on other models as additional accessories. The peculiarity of the kit is the presence of large number of photo-etched parts that allow assembling of the model of museum level, but if the modeller does not want for any reasons or does not manage just to use photo-etched parts, the model looks quite well without photo-etched parts. Despite the story of the kit is very simple and laconic, the figure of the soldier is very expressive and allows creating of both an independent vignette with offered story and using of the kit together with accessories and models of this period from other manufacturers. The kit is made in 1/35 scale.



72006 "MK II "Female" British Tank, Arras Battle period, 1917" - The kit continues the series of kits of military techniques of the WW I era and it represents a set of parts placed on 5 sprues intended for making the model of MK II British Tank, Machinegun Version, in Arras Battle period, 1917 in 1/72 scale. The kit is noted for high degree of detail (taking into account 1/72 scale), thorough work on the small parts and high degree of the correspondence to the original. We would like to emphasize also that machinegun turrets of the model rotate and barrels of the machineguns move up and down. Photo-etched parts are not included in the kit, the kit is not completed by decals, as exactly this kind of the tank did not bear any inscriptions almost. We would like to pay your special attention that there will be inscription "Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of WW I (1914-1918)" on the box. The kit is made in 1/72 scale.



We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We wish you a lot of happiness, successes, good luck, joy, wellbeing, fulfillment of all plans and all the best!
