Modern era 1/35 scale
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 3:53 PM
Does it seem to anyone else that there is far to much attention being paid to WWII figures and armor, but none others? I can go out and buy a WWII German tank that was only manufactured for 3 months in the summer of 1944, but if I wanted a set of Modern Rangers I'd have to kitbash or scratchbuild. Other than the Modern Marines that Dragon put out, excellent kit BTW, are there any new Modern soldiers on the horizon?

Looks like Dragon is bringing out some more modern soldiers.

Those Hobbyfan items look really nice. I hadn't seen them yet. Where's the best place to get them?

I got the pics from the Jaguar site ( http://www.jaguarmodels.com ). You can buy them there; I don't know if there are other places you can get them.
I bought the HF557 at my hobby store it's well done but the faces of the soldiers are exactly the same, i.e. you'll get twin marines!

No, the most "Modern" 1/35 Tamiya figure kit is the Operation Desert Storm figures wich is a reissue of their Modern Soldiers that came with the original M2 Bradley kit, plus 2 more figures.
ODS version:


Original Set:

They also have a new 1/16 Iraqi Freedom figure (below), however, the figure is wearing the older style MOPP suit, and not the current JSLIST chemical suite as worn in IOF.


Tamiya also has a couple of new 1/35 crew figures included with their new OIF armored vehicles (M113A2, M2A2 ODS, and M1A2). These are pretty good and look right for IOF.
