First Look

Here is a fun diorama or vignette - this six figure set centers around two young women bathing somewhere in southern Europe in a stream with two US Airborne soldiers and two Fallschirmjäger looking on oblivious to their adversaries nearby. This is target fixation at its finest.

US and German Paratroopers Kit

The two young women bathing figures are nicely sculpted and ready for some wet/dry painting to bring the moment to life. Each of the four paratrooper figures are also nicely detailed and equipped for their combat roles. The opportunity here is to replicate the setting with the appropriate water effects and vegetation to bring out the humor of this setting. Thank you Master Box for producing this great set.

My sincere thanks to DML for this review sample!
