Ratch Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 This batch are two part sets. One had the bases cut off - I'm re-painting them. The other are basically new, except the previous owner had operated on a couple of figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul71 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 like the Luftwaffe personnel ratch this is a set I've looked at but not been too sure about but after looking at these think i will keep my eye out for a set ( at the right price some kits are going for daft money again) after looking at some of your other builds think i will start to get things over time and try my hand at a diorama at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
