1/48 RAF WWII Personnel

Kit Number: 8508

Reviewed by  Paul Bradley, IPMS# 35554

MSRP: $12.95 Now here's a useful set for those with an interest in the RAF in WWII. This set of 6 ground crew figures will complement any RAF fighter models and will help create nice dioramas. The box contains two sprues, each holding three figures. Each of the six figures is a different pose, and is made up of separate legs, arms, torso and head. In addition, there are a small number of accessories, such as chocks and an oil can. The poses are quite relaxed and there is no urgency to their work! This may or may not work with your diorama ideas, but it's a personal thing. The sculpting is quite good, but the heads look a little squashed. Facial detail is nice. Given the dearth of RAF figures, this is a welcome and worthwhile set, though I would have liked to have seen a few more accessories, perhaps with some photo etched tools or some such. Something Eduard might consider for future sets? My thanks to Eduard for sending us the review sample.
