About product

The crew of a British armored car, winter 1944 and 1945

A figure set from the Polish brand Mirage Hobby capturing the crew of a British armored car in the winter period of 1944 and 1945. The period is precisely stated in the name, and on figures that is no trifle: winter clothing changes the silhouette of a figure so much that the same figures would not work in a summer scene.

Where such crews served

British armored cars carried out mainly reconnaissance duties at the end of the war. They moved ahead of the main forces, reported contact and pulled back again. The crews were small in number, they worked on their own and they were outside the vehicle more often than tank crews. The winter of 1944 and 1945 in northwestern Europe added low temperatures and muddy roads to that.

How to set the figures into a scene

A winter scene rests on a muted palette, so the main work lies in handling the shades of khaki and brown so that they do not merge. A slightly lighter top layer of clothing against a darker lower part and clearly distinguished headgear help. There is no stinting on mud on the boots and the hem of the coat, but watch out for snow: in 1:72 scale it looks believable only in a thin layer, not as a continuous white mass. Remains of slushy earth at the edges of the base then join the whole scene into one.

Who the set suits

  • Modelers of British vehicles in 1:72 scale
  • Winter dioramas of the Western Front
  • Anyone interested in reconnaissance units
  • Builders of scenes with armored cars

FAQ

Winter clothing markedly changes the silhouette of the figures. In a summer scene the figures would not look believable.

British armored cars in 1:72 scale. The set is not tied to a single type of vehicle.

In the small scales only a thin layer in the shadows and folds works. A continuous white surface looks unreal.

The number of figures is stated by the maker on the packaging. It is the crew of one vehicle.
