The Ukrainian manufacturer, Masterbox Ltd., have, once again, made images available to us of a future release - MB3528; German Motorcyle and Crew. If you''re expecting two figures sitting rigidly (like the old Tamiya set), think again, there are some VERY animated (and humorous) elements in this new set. The Photo-Report can be seen:

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

Another nice newsstory
I actually really like these kind of figure sets and I'm really happy that Masterbox is the company who loves to take up these kind of scenes. Next to the fact that they have a piece of humor added to the scene it is also a scene that can be used as a standalone scene but also can be part of a big dio where it is one of the numerous stroylines.
Motorcycle look pretty good too in these test shots. Have to compare it with my ref but it already looks like it would beat the hell out of the Tamiya cycle.
Can't wait for this one to hit the shelves.. Will get a couple of the sets.

With friendly greetz

Cheers,

Without checking my own reference I have to say a BMW R75

I got a good chuckle out of this one. Very original, and as stated, very usable lone or as part of a bigger scene.

Small correction here - 3528 will be the Motorbike, whereas, 3538 will consist of the figure set..

Its so good to see creativity in figure releases...
Masterbox please keep them coming...

Their future release listings are impressive by the subject alone, but seeing how they are delivering these items is adding to the drool factor.
Especially looking forward to the new mold M/C
