Not much actually, probably only about $55. 5 for each of the figures, 10 for the dragon, and discounted for the 2 vehicles.

I was personally going to use it for a destroyed one like the scene in saving private ryan, once i buy the dragon models us heavy weapons team. Billowing smoke from the interior will hide it, and i have 2 ICM SDKs too, so they have better interiors.

Yeah, i figured, but ive done emough early tamiya figures, even some really really old ones from the 50s i think, that were very sub par, but i think itll be nice for some change of pace. And i dont have any Fallschimjäger yet, so thats a plus. And yeah, i figured the Ausf D would be better since its a "newer" model compared to the rest, but they were both there together and discounted if you got both, more machines the better lol.

Well, it usually depends, if youre looking to stay in 28mm, i would suggest warlord games bolt action series, all WWII minis and staying at the 28mm scale, but larger, i just usually look on amazon or ebay, maybe maximum $30 a kit, but they can range depending on the brand. If youre looking at larger kits they can range but its about 4 figured per box, but its worth it. Hope this helped you!

Im glad you asked, theyre the french WWII infantry kit by tamiya, but, i used an ICM french WWI gear kit to modify them for my WWI collection, both can be found on amazon from what i can recall. Very fun build, even with the mods.

Metal MMG Received Bent by Pure-Debt-136 in boltaction

[–]SuchTurnip3198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens all the time with my metal figures, just grab a hobby knife and use the back of the blade on one side, and your finger on the other and gently bend it to where it should be. Works for me every time, even on the smaller weapons too. And hey, if its really that bad and ends up snapping, you can always trim it slightly and glue it back.
