Scale: 1/35
Two interesting new releases from the guys at CMK (Czech Masters Kits) this month. Ukrainian Soldier Firing FGM-148 Javelin (ref. F35384) is a very topical full resin figure with a 3D-printed Javelin ATGM. The figure is very nicely sculpted and cast, albeit quite large for 1/35 scale, as a single piece, depicted in a sitting position. The 3D-printed parts include the figure’s hands holding the firing unit, the launcher and an AK-74MN assault gun. The kit also includes resin missile base plates with photoetched stabilising fins and a sling for the AK-74, as well as decals for the missile and launcher. This is an excellent and very complete figure kit and complements the same manufacturer’s Ukrainian Soldier with NLAW (ref. F35379). The next release is a different scale and subject entirely. Sd.Kfz. 250/251 Crew in Winter Uniforms (ref. F72386) contains two beautifully sculpted and cast Wehrmacht figures, ideal for Special Armour’s recent small-scale Sd.Kfz. 250 (ref. 72019) kit or any other late-war German vehicles. CMK kits are available directly from the manufacturer (www. cmkkits.com) or other good model shops.
