SAS Vehicle Crews North Africa 1942 1/35 Model Kit

Relive the legendary SAS of Operation Crusader with this 1/35 scale model kit! Featuring Col. Stirling as the centrepiece, and 6 other soldiers, the kit captures the full detail, from the soldiers' authentic clothing and likenesses to specially adapted vehicles. Enjoy a piece of history or use the figures to create your own custom scenes!

This figure set from Dragon is supplied unusually in one of Dragon's top opening boxes. The box art, based on a well known photograph, has been used before too, although this is the first time we've seen it in its entirety, Dragon having used different portions of it before for various vehicle releases. The figures too have been seen before, with one or two being included in those vehicle releases. Now we have them all together in one release!
The kit contents consist of eleven small sprues, of which there are five pairs. The various parts make up into seven different figures, the odd, single sprue containing the parts to make up the figure representing David Stirling himself, or at least a standing SAS officer. As you would expect from Dragon, the sculpting of the original figures is superb, the moulding crisp and sharp with no flash. Unfortunately we're still getting those cooling lines on the torsos of the figures, caused by differential cooling of the styrene once the figures are extracted from their moulds. It's a problem that other figure manufacturers have overcome, and high time Dragon cured the problem.
