New releases - Des Kit

    Greetings,
    The French manufacturer, Des Kit has been busy with some new 54-mm scale resin kit releases. I only have a photo of one of two of the ACW, which depicts a couple of US Navy figures, 1861-1865 (officer holding telescope and sailor). They could be viewing the oncoming Hunley submarine from the deck of the USS Housitanic! Figure base depicts a ship deck. Minor conversions on the officer could be done to convert to Confederate.
    They actually appear well sculpted, and can make good additions to the many 54-mm scale naval guns made by Cottage Industries and Verlinden.
    Des Kit figures in 54-mm tend to be on the smaller side (like Shenandoah, Verlinden, etc.)
    Their other release is of a bare foot Confederate infantry soldier in 54 mm scale resin (photo not available yet).
    They also have a new 54 mm scale viking that can be viewed here:

    Here's a photo of the US Navy figures:

    There is something that looks off about the deminsions of the sailor, those of use that focus on the ACW need more naval subjects and I am a big fan of DES KIT, so I'll be buying these (SOMEDAY). A bare foot reb, on the heels of the soon to be released MR figure, it might be a bit much, but I will wait and see as I am working on a dio that could requires scads of raggity rebs. BTW thanks for posting the link, didn't know they had a website.
