Scibor 1/72 resin figures news 10/2014

[Erich von Manstein]

The polish manufacturer Scibor added two new resin sets to their quickly growing range.

This new sets are again part of the currently popular Poland 1939 topic.

72HM0024 - "Polish Fiat 621 crew" (to man the corresponding First to Fight kit))
72HM0025 - "Polish FT17 1920 turret and crew" (turret is made for FtF kit)
Each set contais 2 very nicely sculpted resin figures.

See their whole Polish Historical Miniatures range (1/72 & other scales) here:

For me, another worthwhile addition to a far too long overlooked WWII ToW!

Best Regards

I just got there R35 crew and they look very nice, they are a bit flashy around the legs but I think they will clean up nicely, they remind me a bit of Milicast figures

Scibor really keeps 'em coming at the moment.

Today I spotted another new 1/72 set at their website.
Again, it is a Poland 1939 subject and, again, it is an add-on for a FtF kit, this time their TK-3 tankette kits.

72HM0026 - Polish TK-3 1939 crew (2 very nice looking crew figures + an open hatch & replacement gun for the FtF kit)

Not sure if the hatch will fit on RPM or ESO TK-3's as well though?
Anyway, another welcomed addition to a long neglected ToW.

Best Regards

I've visited their web page and I saw some awesome 28mm fantasy figures (Romans and Spartans for example). Unfortunately 46€ for 5 28mm figures is way too much for my pocket

[Erich von Manstein]

That may be true, but 28mm Fantasy is a completely different sector & target group.
If we are talking about their pricing policy, then it should at this point also be mentioned that the prices for their 1/72nd sets (which are the topic here) are really fair and modest imho.
Between 4,20 and 7,50 Euos depending on topicality & volume. Thus they perform comparatively well when watching the pricing policy of many other resin manufacturers.

[Kekso]

I'm not criticising their price. As producers they have right to set any price they want. And me, as a buyer, can freely decide if I want to pay that price or not. But they cannot blame me if I don't buy one of most expensive 28mm fantasy figure I ever saw on the market. Cheers

Kekso,
nobody is blaming you. I just thought that mentioning Scibor's admittedly expensive 28mm Fantasy figures could distract people from checking out their modestly priced & highly interisting 1/72 sets.
Imho, discussion about 28mm figures doesn't belong into this thread which was clearly aimed at 1/72 and folks intested into exactly this scale.

Btw, I absolutely agree with your remark about the pricing policy regarding their 28mm Fantasy figs, but that seems to be a topic for another thread.

Kaktus has a lot of these figures excellently painted by himself illustrated on this page:
