British Royal Marines in 1/76 scale
| Name | British Royal Marines Searching for al-Qaida /set # DF 12/& British Royal Marines /set #DF 14/ |
| Manufacturer | SMSC, UK |
| Packing | plastic bag with paper label |
| Model type | white metal castings |
| Quality | Each of these two sets includes 5 figures of modern British soldiers patrol. All of them are very well detailed extremely well cast without any problematic flash or sprue marks. Arms with weapons are cast separately and have small connection pin in the shoulder. Therefore small holes have to be drilled into each figure body in connection places. Heads are also cast separately and you can choose from two options – beret or helmet. All figure poses are very realistic. Both sets include figures in same poses. The only difference is that set DF 12 includes extra Bergen bag for each soldier. The bags suit well on figure backs thanks to connection pin and hole system. |
| Instructions | brief text with instructions how to work with white metal kits |
| General impression & Note | Absolutely superb
figure sets!. Finished figures can perfectly complete models or can be placed on
diorama not in 1/76 declared scale only but also in bigger 1/72 because the
soldiers you get are relatively tall. I guess that figures can represents not
only Marines but also Paratroopers or Infantry. They have really wide use:
Balkan, Afghanistan, Iraq, North Ireland etc. Both of these sets came as the result of kit swap with Gordon of SMA/SSP. |
