Evaluation:

On global, the new Preisersets are excellent in terms of moulding and sculpture, a greatimprovement comparing their earlier sets, like the mechanics.Moulded in a medium grey plastic, without almost no flash, theseare wonderful. The multipose approach, similar to the one fromAirfix in 1/32, way back some 25 years, is a very good one, soyou could build almost an infinite variation of figures, swappingthe heads and torsos, even if this could be tricky.

Some of the seated figuressimply will not fit the Sd.Kfz.251 series, at least the ones fromESCI (future release by Italeri?) and Hasegawa. The accessoriesare also one of the best in our scale.

Overall a ranking of 8 out of 10.
