New figure set from Dragon
DR 6491 1/35 "Hunting the Partisans" Yugoslavia 1943
Dragon’s latest 1/35 scale figure set is a novel one featuring Axis soldiers fighting Yugoslav Partisans. In the box there are three German soldiers from Prinz Eugen, a mountain division that spent the war campaigning against guerillas in the Balkans. The fourth soldier is an Italian, meaning this set offers tremendous versatility to modelers. Each figure is vividly sculpted in combat poses, and they display an assortment of uniforms and weapons. The centerpiece of the set is a machinegun team shooting from a makeshift firing point. Of interest is that the machinegun team members are provided with two sets of legs! This means they can be posed on either sloped or flat terrain. A ‘plastic rock’ that the prone soldier is leaning on is also contained in the set. True to reality, the German soldiers carry a variety of weapons as this ad hoc formation does battle in the mountainous terrain of Yugoslavia some time in 1943. With its German-Italian combination, this valuable set allows figure modelers to depict a theater of WWII that doesn’t receive the attention it merits.

the carcano attracts me most ... i had both in my hands already the kar98k and the carcano and the latter is such a cool rifle! i remember that i even unfolded the bajonet in the shop without permission and i can tell this is a long and menacing butchering device!

I do not think anyone is going to argue with Laura with a rifle fitted with a bayonet ! They will soon get a big poke !

Re: New figure set from Dragon
Is that a Gen 2 or a Gen 1 set? And, more importantly, is the plastic rock slide molded?

Hehehe
Well since the blurb the comany wrote does not mention Gen 2 it would be Gen 1.

Funny...
Jenny-
Well, my avatar must look pretty close, because I get the "Shaggy" nickname alot. Maybe I should stop eating Scooby Snaks and saying "Zoinks" all the time
And nobody said if the rock was slide molded or not...

That is a cool looking set. I am hoping to try and start painting a few plastic figures myself.

Joe, I've been using and converting DML figures for some time now and they really lend themselves to conversions. I usually switch the heads, re-sculpt the hands, and add equipment straps, but IMHO for the money they can't be beat.
BTW I'll probably buy this set for the Italian alone.

Good set though.
