Finding helicopter crew member figures, especially in 1/48th scale has been like finding hen's teeth. Thankfully, ICM has listened, and provided modelers with some great figures in this scale. Finally, we have a modern helicopter crew in 1/48. These are the most recent US Army helicopter pilots and crew.

Packaged in a really sturdy top opening cardboard box with the artwork on a sleeve that fits over it protects the entire contents from anything short of fire or a trash compactor. Inside you’ll find a single sprue of light grey plastic that contains 32 beautiful parts for THREE figures.

Arma Hobby is offering a great little accessory for anyone looking to create a WWII/Korea US airfield diorama, or even just a nice base for your 1/72 aircraft model.

This small base is nicely packaged in and a stiff cardboard envelope, somewhat reminiscent of “Apple style” clean design. The resin base appears to be 3-D printed and has extremely crisp detail. No flash or any attachment points to trim away, it is ready to paint and prime right out of the box (envelope). No instructions or paint diagram of any kind are included. But a neat little feature is a QR code that links to free 3D printer files for a group of airfield accessories such as fuel drums, wheel chocks, a fire extinguisher, and a few other goodies. Not having a 3D printer, I was not able to test these out, but it certainly is a nice little bonus!
