This is the second in a series of 1/35th scale figures to be reviewed for Alpine Miniatures. This is a 2 figure set depicting 2 German soldiers holding a conversation in the desert offensive of WWII. The set is comprised of 2 figures each with an optional head for a total of 4 heads provided in the kit.

Each Alpine kit in this scale is packaged in a sturdy semi-clear plastic box with a folded color guide inside. Each figure and its parts are sealed in its own zip-lok bag to insure against loss during shipping.

The bottom photograph above shows the parts laid out for both figures prior to the photography being done.

Conclusion:
Another excellent set by the super talented hands of Taesung Hamms. All parts dry-fit well with minor clean-up needed before painting. Highly recommended.

What a title! A conversation... Surely not over which place serves the best camel meat... More like which spot to fry a Firefly.

The Italian tanker is the highlight of the pair, really. Might be tempted to use a dashing Hornet bare head.
