Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your kind compliments, BaBill212! More are coming today - 1 dio, 1 figure and 6 armors.

I like the 37mm anti tank gun fitted with a rocket? Can you explain more about this modification as it looks deadly / cool.

One figure in the first scene looks off balance, possibly he is not secured enough or came loose in transport / handling? Regardless it should be a easy correction.

SuppressionFire, the rocket came in the box. You may search “3.7cm Pak36” for more information about its projectiles. This kit is newly-released by Zvezda and at $10.30 you get both the gun and 4 figures and the quality is top notch. I really like the guy whose mouth is open. He looks real. Dragon has similar gun and figures, but may be at twice the price and no better.

You mean the one with the wound on the left hand? I see them all in balance, so it’s not clear which one you mean.

The blond haired soldier on the left hand side, he appears to be leaning too far back considering he is wearing gear on his back. If anything he should be leaning slightly forward considering the relaxed stance.

Thanks for the information on the 37mm gun, I am hearing good things about Zvezda kits and will buy one some day!

That is a Stielgranate 41. Its a finned 19 lb. hollow charge that gave the Pak 36 greater penetration.

The dios look great, specially the tall grass.[B]

These are really nicely painted! You got your money’s worth on these, for sure!

I’m with Karl, especially on that second one, the little Dio is Very nice and sets a really good scene. Only wish it had a better name plate.
