Modeling Review - Alpine Miniatures

Alpine Miniatures have sent us their latest set of two single figures combined to make a matched pair in 35132: 1/35 German Panther Crew Set. This features a full-bodied tank commander and his machine gunner/ radio operator crewman who is ¾ bodied. Sure to be a popular subject with modellers, we'll examine them to see if the quality is at the usual benchmark that Alpine themselves have set. I will also place them in my test tank to see if they look the part and fit!!

I hate to say it, but if you live in the Northern Hemisphere you can see by the leaves flying off the trees - the looong winter is coming. But all is not lost, ohh no, more time for modelling! So to gear you up for lots of cold “knights” in, I have a kit from Pegaso for you, some tankers from around the world, an out of season Dragonfly with big tanks to keep it going, a jeep packed with destructive fireworks and a Korean Blackhawk?
