German Paratroopers and Tankers Italy 1943 Kit

There are parts for five full figures, two paratroopers and three tankers. Three of the figures are standing and the other two are sitting. The faces are sculpted very well and have nice animation. The uniforms are also sculpted very well.

The closer that you look at these figures, the better the detail gets!

Paint colors are called out on the back of the box and are provided for Vallejo, Testor, Tamiya, Humbrol, Revell, Mr. Color and Life Color.

Overall, a great set from MiniArt that will be a joy to build and paint!

Thanks to MRC for the review sample.
