And, yay, they come with figures! I'll get pictures of more tomorrow.... and man, what a colorful pile of stuff it is! They are molded in the 3 glorious primary colors red/blue/yellow as the vehicles are painted, although the blue color is "off" and the yellow looks "off" as well. Not ugly colors, just not exactly primary and not exactly accurate for the vehicles they portray.
Preview.
These are more "dissasembled toy" than model parts. The construction of them is snap-together and they are build just like little toy cars would be. For instance, the clear parts for the windows are just one piece that snaps in, opposed to individual window pieces, or sides, etc.
Still, if they are truly in scale they will be a welcome addition to the shelf and it will be killer having some support vehicles and people to stage with newly completed models. Besides, I haven't built a car model in eons... early 1990's. It'll be fun.
Oh, what else.... let's see here.... the instructions are very nice! Full color exploded diagrams. They are definitely copying from LEGO's homework on this one and I'm not surprised as Bobkit stuff was marketed toward kids, right? (I also have a Bobkit 1/72 C-160 Transall somewheres.... it came with a load of figures, too).
Notice the little "hey, this stuff snaps together" symbol up by the numbers.
Transfers are neato, and look to be in good shape:
I might go on ahead and start working on these tomorrow. Finish one a week or something. Can't wait to use them next to stuff. I know they all French and all but this stuff could potential be at any airport or airbase in the world and should be alright to be posed with damn near anything aside from anochronistic type things like a .... Zepplin or.... tri wing something or other...
