MSRP: $19.95 Imported by Dragon Models USA - Website: www.dragonmodelsusa.com The set had very minimal flash, and no ejection pin marks. What mold lines that were there were easily removed with a sharp blade. There are no decals, and no painting instructions. You will need to copy what you see in the illustration. There are not even any part numbers on the sprue, just a picture on the back of the box with the numbers listed next to the part.

The figures went together without a lot of shaping and filling. They are all balanced so they can stand without pins or glue. The weapons fit the hand and are nicely made. As noted there are no painting instructions and the photo on the front is only useful for the German figures as the Soviet figures are in the shadows. The photos on the back give you general idea of what the colors are, but my advice is to review your figure references for proper color. Conclusion - Master Box is becoming the leader in vignettes in a box. All you need to do is add a building from MiniArt and you have an instant diorama. The kit is very well done and appears better than my figure painting makes it look. Thanks to Master Box and Dragon USA for the review sample and IPMS/USA for the review space.
