September - October 2025 News from MB Models
... 2 new 1/35 kits on the way

The latest news from Master Box (MB Models) of their planned releases for September - October 2925.
We would like to inform you about new kits of September-October 2025:
1) 35249 “Hot Summer 1941. German Infantry, WW II era”
Scale 1/35.
The interest in the subject of the World War II is still high, and the current war in Ukraine gives a particular meaning to this kit, because almost all the most large-scale fighting of the summer of 1941 took place on the territory of Ukraine that was at that time one of the republics of the USSR.
The story is simple. The group of tired German soldiers, loaded with weapons and ammunition, steps forward and forward stubbornly under the scorching rays of the hot Ukrainian sun, and their officer, showing indestructible resistance, tries to cheer them up. However, exactly this simplicity makes the kit unusually universal. It can be used both for creating an independent and very expressive vignett, and for creating a large-scale diorama with the damaged enemy techniques that the soldiers pass by, or, for example, using MB kits 3510, 3541, 35112, 35137, 35151 or with a kit of techniques of any manufacturer.
The kit contains two plastic sprues: a sprue with figures and a sprue with weapons and equipment.
The figures are made at a high artistic level, in fact, being a highly artistic miniature sculpture.
2) 35250 “Desert Battle Series. Long-distance raid. Child of Hope”
Scale 1/35.
Kit 35250 continues new series of kits dedicated to the Post-apocalyptic subject in 1/24 scale.
Extraordinary popularity of this subject in the area of cinema and computer games forced us to deal with the Post-apocalyptic subject.
The creation of the series of figures under the general name “The Last Bridge. Child of Hope” was based on a simple plot: after that, as a result of the destruction of the world order, which was accompanied by wars and natural disasters, few survivors were forced to unite in order to survive. Someone united in gangs to rob those who still could take something away, someone united in communities in order to create hope jointly for the future for themselves and their children. But only there were problems with the children. Too few were born and all born after chaos carried the embryo of the future extinction. And then, it is not known where, HE appeared - a child who became a symbol of hope. Absolutely healthy, sociable, but... not remembering at all, who he is, and where. And then, in order to protect him from the gangs and to give a chance to everyone, it was decided to take him to the Last Bridge, behind which, according to the legends, there was a wonderful island, which kept the remnants of civilization and science. A large detachment set out on a journey, but only four were able to get to the bridge: Child, Hector, rebel and hard labor, Stefani, fearless fighter and Rob, once an elite combat robot that managed to become part of the community of people.
The kit consists of two plastic sprues for assembling a cart and three figures and a sprue with the photo-etched parts. The assembly instructions are inside the box.
The figures are made at a high artistic level, in fact, being a highly artistic miniature sculpture.
We would like to emphasize especially that this kit is a part of the series of kits and figures from this kit can be used both separately, to create a very expressive vignette, and using the other figures of the series to create more large-scale diorama.
As ever, well done to Master Box for carrying on their marvellous range of models despite the terrible war they are having to endure since the Russian invasion.
Thanks to MB Models for the news.
