New German Tank Crew

¹⁄35

Sunday, October 07, 2012 - 11:21 PM UTC

Back in June 2011 MiniArt announced work on a new GERMAN TANK CREW (Normandy 1944), well it looks like this one will finally be hitting the shops soon.

MiniArt has finally got this new set of figures “GERMAN TANK CREW (Normandy 1944)” moving and have released images of the assembled figures. The figures look good with a good level of detail especially on the faces and hands which can be a weak area on injection moulded plastic figures. The figures would look good relaxed around a tank during a lull in the fighting or as said when first announced a good selection of figures that can be shows as POWs.

35132 - GERMAN TANK CREW (Normandy 1944) – 1/35th scale

He reminds me of the Character Major Easy from the old "Battle Comic"

Hi Maybe its their attempt to look like or maybe the sculptor was inspired to get him to look a bit like Panzer Ace Kurt Knispel

The guy leaning over could have been inspired by the guy in this photo, and the others, hence the hair styles although I think a little overdone in my view

Why do you have to complain about something every time a new kit enters the stage? This little hair isn't something a modeller can't fix within 2 secs according to his desires with the tip of his modelling knife, so this seems to be pointless hair-splitting... Great figures! Wan't to see more like these...

Ingo, not a complaint, just a comment, I think that's OK. Not sure what you mean by "every time" but I like your "hair splitting " joke.

Ingo it is more about having a laugh rather than complaining. I like the product someone made a comment about the hair and I was having a laugh with them.

Perhaps one can actually turn it into the "Major Easy" character figure with a few judicious swipes of the modelling knife and the application of some 2-part epoxy putty. A Beautiful set of figures, nonetheless, with one of the best faces I've seen so far in injection moulded plastic, comparable to after-market resin figure heads. Good Job, Mimiart . Cheers !

I have more sets of figures than most hobby shops and I don't think many can be as good as these look. Sharp features and the faces are excellent looking. Best I have seen in plastic!
