This is the first of 3 news stories on MiniArt. This one looks at a US motorcycle and rifleman; the rifleman is using the motorcycle for cover just as the cavalry of the past used their horses.
The motorcycle in this offering is the Harley Davidson offering as I believe has been seen in previous sets. The infantry figure is depicted in the artwork wearing what I believe is US Marines’ uniform, but I am happy to be corrected. This particular offering would make for an excellent vignette as it has movement and lots to catch the eye.

this is finally an interesting new motorcycle figure!

Yes, that's correct... It wouldn't take much to modify the uniform into the HBT Tanker-style coverall, which some US Army Motorcyclists wore over their standard combat uniforms, or even to modify it into the standard combat uniform. A very nice kit and a real departure from the norm! I would go with the HBT coveralls and M1938 Leggings, as I already have numerous US Army Motorcyclists in the standard 1941-'44 combat uniforms...

Nice, good to see a HBT clad figure again......this figure is going into my Mortain diorama.

I hope they eventually release this figure in a figure set. Almost all of their US figures have been included in a Harley kit.
