SMM reviews the brand new Young Miniature RAF Spitfire Mk1 Pilot WW2 bust.

I have always wanted to get my hands on the Masterbox figure sets but alas none of the LHS carry the range until recently. HHQ, in KL brought in a consignment which represented most of their production range and I had a field day going through the kits.

This will start off as a review of the Eduard 1:16 scale Boris Safonov figure kit

This is a quick look at Tamiya's kit no MM240 consisting of 2 bicycles and 4 figures. The kit was obviously a rebundle of an earlier figure with bicycle set which was later enhanced with new mold of the 2 german soldiers either pushing or riding the bicycle.

The Roman Legionary 1AD kit is the 5th kit in MiniArt's 1:16 scale historic figure set. A comprehensive range was brought in by HHQ recently and quickly dissappeared from the shelves.

This Zvezda production kit number 3597 is a very welcomed and unique set of the Russian Sniper team of WW2 nostalgically produced and invoking memories of the wonderful Enemy of The Gates movie.

Introduction
Here is a subject matter you don’t often see featured by most kit makers if at all but one which was nevertheless an important facet of the Vietnam conflict, the Army Republic of Vietnam or ARVN Rangers. Dragon has arguably the widest selection of Vietnam era figures covering both American as well as the Vietnamese forces with a healthy sprinkling of even indigenous forces in between. As such the production of this set complements well if not almost completing their substantial lineup of Vietnam era figures.

Among the various campaigns that the Rangers participated in Dragon has chosen Saigon circa 1968 during the Tet Offensive as the setting for this kit.
