Dust is an alternative World War Two storyline from the mind of comic-book artist Paolo Parente. Set in 1947, blocs of newly-allied nations are pitted against one another in a fight to the death.
They are fitting over the control of a new ore called Vk which lies behind the creation of a new range of combat robots & walkers.
One such walker found its way to our door. It’s called the Mickey Arv (D480050) & is in 1:48th scale. It depicts an armoured recovery vehicle fielded by the American nations & its allies.
Inside the box are five sprues of olive green plastic containing the main components. All are well cast with some nice surface detail. There’s also a box of 30 or so well-cast resin pieces in a dark grey resin.
The instructions are brief but clear & precise. One of the really pleasant surprises was to see that the decal sheet contains some great colour scheme options & lovely nose-art type images of sexy heartthrobs to decorate your kit.
As a final touch, there’s a base with a non-slip texture on which to mount your finished model.
These kits are a fun diversion from modelling “real world” subjects with their precise colour schemes & markings. With these sci-fi masterpieces you are only limited by your imagination, so we’ll be tackling more of these kits soon.
