RUSSIAN ZIS 3 ANTI TANK GUN

1/32 Scale Set with 6 Figures

This is another fine kit from Italeri and a superb companion piece to the Russian Infantry

from the same series. The moulding is crisp and the detail superb. The crew are another

plus and altogether this kit is excellent value for money. There is not an awful lot in

1/32 like this so it is a must have for fans of that scale.

GERMAN PAK 40 ANTI TANK GUN

1/32 Scale

Another fine 1/32 kit by Italeri. It is a companion piece to the German Elite Troops

no doubt as the crew are dressed in the same uniform. The gun itself is a snap together affair so it's very easy to assemble and the plastic is very tough which makes it ideal for mucking around with. The crew are great with two men manning the gun, three men loading up the shells in a bucket brigade style and there is an observer pointing out targets. Once this is all painted it looks quite impressive.
By the way, it's funny that the crew are called servants!

WW2 GERMAN ELITE TROOPS

1/32 Scale 8 Figure Set

This set is a must for anyone into late war German troops

and what we have here are 'elite troops' but more or less S.S. troops judging by
the death's head skull on the officers cap! They are dressed in Winter uniform and the variety of weapons is great. You see a Gewehr 43 sniper rifle, an Stg 44 assualt rifle, along with the more common MP40 machine pistol and Kar 98k rifle. The Panzerschreck is a nice touch along with the mortar but the MG34 is let down by the bizarre way the bipod is moulded to fit on the bricks! The two figures in the overcoats are my favourite here as this dress is less common in most kits.
