Open Book RAF Pilots, WWII Era, Masterbox MB3206, 1/32 scale (54mm)

[Stelios Demiras]

Hello friends,
I have in my hands a very interesting figure set that I am sure will be very popular among figure modelers or diorama builders as it has a very good quality, competitive price and it has prototype theme! It is one of their latest sets and I like also the new grey plastic. As you can see in the photos the pieces need the usual clean up of the flash but is a very easy task as the molding line is very thin. So you can have three RAF pilots and one dog. The scale is 1/32 (54mm) so you can combine them with 1/32 planes or other similar items. Good thought Masterbox! The Ukrainian company has set new quality standards in Injection Moulded Plastic Kits so see the following photos for personal evaluation.

Company: Master Box
Code: MB3206
Scale: 1/32 (54mm)
Pieces: One sprue with 43 pieces. I include two photos of the sprue(front and back to have a better idea)
Material: High Quality Injection Moulded Plastic

More Information: www.mbltd.info or look for the set in your local distributor, dealer or shop.

I have this set as well....Nice poses and 4 figures and red setter for a very fair price compared to resin single figs..Bought them to choose a couple for my 1/32nd Spitfire...Polish squadron of course..

Nice bunch of figures for the price (under a tenner). Masterbox really do have a great range of figures.

Bit soft in places but that's the trade off not getting resin and will do with a scrub up. Sometimes its not the piece but the painter. The only thing that irks me is how much I hate putting half pieces together. (its like lining up that damn wallpaper) Cant remember how soft the plastic is for removing the cast lines on them. Unlike the harder plastics which make it a bit of a task.

These remind me of another company that did RAF figures but 1/48 in size and had a combination of completed and multipart figures in the one box. They had great detail and none of those pesky joining half parts.. If ICM did the same set in 1/32 it would make great competition. Funnily both sets have the same red setter in them

You have three figures (not four as look says)and one dog. In one case you can use the cap or not. But if you wish there are plenty of heads to give more personal tone to each figure!
