Masterbox Ltd. have just made 'official' some information which should be particularly welcome to those of you who do large-scale aircraft subjects.
The company, who have gained an excellent reputation in 1/35th scale military subjects are now turning their sites on the Aviation market.

Currently, they are working on both Flightcrew and Ground Personnel in 1/32nd scale - an area which has sadly been lacking in Injection-Moulded styrene.

The list they have published is the following:

1/32 Scale. Military Miniatures

- 3201 Luftwaffe Flight and Maintenance Personnel

- 3202 US Air Force Flight and Maintenance Personnel

- 3203 Royal Air Force Flight and Maintenance Personnel

- 3204 Imperial Japanese Air Force Flight and Maintenance Personnel

- 3205 Soviet Air Force Flight and Maintenance Personnel


In addition, Masterbox have also announced that they are entering the Aircraft market with the following subjects - in 1/35th Scale

- 3568 Horsa MK 1 Troop-carrying glider. Model figures of British paratroopers will be supplied with this set.

- 3583 Horsa MK 1 Troop-carrying glider. This model will be supplied with the figures of American paratroopers.

- 3584 Douglas C-47 Skytrain. This model will be supplied with the figures of US flight and maintenance personnel and US paratroopers.

- 3585 Douglas C-47. In British and Commonwealth service the C47 was called the Dakota. This model will be supplied with the figures of British flight and maintenance personnel and British paratroopers.

- 3587 German military cargo plane Junkers Ju-52. Affectionately called “Tante Ju” by the German troops. Also include in this set will be the figures of German flight/maintenance personnel and German paratroopers.

Thanks to the extremely close relationship we have with Masterbox - expect to see the first images HERE, on Aeroscale!

is there more information on the Soviet crew? is that more like WWII or also like cold war? I mean, up till which year could these sets be used after WWII? Was there a sudden change in uniforms at a certain time?

I build only 1/32 WW1 aircraft and have been adapting 1/35 WW2 military figures to become seated pilots. Works very well with the scale difference being minimal. A set of seated WW1 pilot figures from this company would be fantastic but like most of the model making companies,WW1 in 1/32 scale is very neglected
