Modern Fanteria Britannica, 1995

Recensione dei Figurini Revell in Scala 1:72

Fanteria britannica wearing CS95 DPM pattern uniforms in conjunction con the earlier Soldier 90 PLCE personal load carrying equipaggiamento. When this figure set was researched e sculpted in the mid-90s, the esercito britannico was in transition from the ’90 pattern uniform ed equipaggiamento to the new ’95 pattern. This new equipaggiamento modello 90/95 replaced the web equipaggiamento modello 1958 found on old paracadutisti della NATO di Matchbox which can be used to represent fanteria britannica ed olandese. Territorial Reserve e Cadet formations dell’esercito britannico continued to use equipaggiamento modello ’58 for some time, until equipaggiamento modello ’90 became available in 2001.

Valutazione

• Good choice of subject, modern fanteria britannica had not be covered for some time.
• The SA80 assault rifle has been in service since 1985, it fires standard munizione 5.56 x 45 mm della NATO.
• Good wargaming poses. With the exception of the lone GPMG gunner e the prone soldier, these soldatini may be used to build modern plotoni di fanteria britannici per Crossfire ed other simulations. Sculpted by Bill Farmer.
• The soldatini are surprisingly short, they are actually more compatibile con miniatures in scala 1:76. Many simulation gamers will consider the smaller size an advantage, because the soldatini sono compatibile con the popular paracadutisti della NATO di Matchbox, e with a variety of modern veicoli available in scala 1:76.

• The plastic is very hard, making the soldatini more difficult to cut apart.
• The assistant gunner of the tripod-mounted 7.62 GPMG is missing. An unfortunate omission, because giocatori di wargame will want to mount the GPMG on a support team stand of due o tre men.
