About This Release,
This new 1/72 scale set features a Kingtiger with Henschel turret that is made
to exacting standards. However, what will be of interest to small-scale modelers
is the brand new 1/72 scale figures of German paratroopers. There are eight
figures mimicking those previously released in 1/35 scale, allowing modelers
to reproduce the famous scene of soldiers riding into battle atop a Kingtiger
in the Battle of the Bulge.
These newly tooled figures are quite simply the best ever to be released on
the market. They feature well-engineered part separation, and they fit together
with consummate ease. Figure modelers have been waiting years, some even for
decades, for figures of this degree of detail and sophistication! Likewise,
their weapons and personal equipment are astoundingly accurate and well detailed.
Poses are natural and anatomically correct. There are no concerns over undercut
detail being missed as always happens with 1/72 soft-plastic figures. And thanks
to Dragon’s tooling technology, there are no issues about unsightly flash. Neither
do modelers need to fret about what glue to use or whether the paint will flake,
for these figures are made with Dragon’s hard-plastic formula. All in all, it’s
safe to say these 3rd FJ Division figures mark a whole new era in 1/72 scale
plastic figures. As for the inclusion of a Kingtiger kit in the box? Well, that’s
just a bonus!
