If you have Italeri's 1/35 Vosper MTB (Kit No. 5610), you can now crew up her up with this figure set.

Thanks Michael,
I was looking out for this set. Very much disappointed though now that the real deal has been revealed. 1 person in duffel coat, a couple of seamen in rather uninspired poses and an officer who looks a right "whoopsie" doing a strange dance. Guess I'll order the "Wee Friends" set after all.

Agree,

very disappointing, will also be looking at Wee Friends when I get round to building my Vosper.

Pity I was hoping for better.

Glad I'm not the only one who's disappointed in this long-awaited set. They should take notes from the folks at Masterbox. I'm hoping they'll fill the Naval figures 'gap'. Al

Waited a long time to see these come along. Some new head and TLC might make them acceptable, hard to tell from the pics.

Well after shouting my mouth off that they did not look that good I got myself a set of these at the Glasgow show after some deliberating and a bit for haggling got them for 15 pound and after a good inspection of the parts they are not that bad as Al says a bit of TLC and some alterations to the one doing the funny dance and some new heads might get them up to a good standard.Will try and get some work done on these soon to show what they look like.

Thanks, Keith, that'd be great!
