First Look
Here is one of Master Box Models' first entries into 1/24th scale. This series is based on an earlier release in 1/35 scale which featured six nicely cast pin-up figures representing differed branches of service in the United States military. These figures have now been up-scaled to 1/24th and released individually. These figures include:
- 24001 - Marylin
- 24002 - Betty (American Beauty)
- 24003 - Alice (US Army)
- 24004 - Suzie (US Navy)
- 24005 - Patty (USAF)
- 24006 - Samantha
Here is Patty, posed with a US Army Air Corps hat holding a salute. The kit is a simple build - you'll spend more time painting this figure than assembling her. The kit is molded in light gray styrene and presented on one small parts tree. At 1/24th scale, there aren't many aircraft kits you could pose this figure with, but there are a significant number of 1/24 and 1/25 car kits that you could use as a backdrop for this figure. While this figure will look great on its own, you have a variety of options to place this figure into an aircraft or automotive vignette to add an interesting feature.
Check out one of these figure kits for your project list!
