The facial expressions on the figures are realistic and are an improvement over other earlier 1/35 figure sets released by Tamiya. Item 35133 does not contain stands for the figures, so the builder must make them from a styrene sheet. Upon examination of the plastic parts, the following weapons are included in Item 35133: M16A1, M203, M47 and M60. That being written, the comments in this review apply to both sets since the four figures in Item 35133 are the same figures included in Item 35153. Item 35133 only includes four figures whereas Item 35153 includes six figures. With these BEF figures, Dragon has greatly expedited the model-maker’s task of producing an early WWII scene.The Tamiya 1/35 US Modern Army Infantry, Item 35133 is the predecessor to Item 35153. The four figures of the MG team combine to create a very effective and dramatic vignette as they defend a strongpoint somewhere in France during the confused withdrawal. The officer, on the other hand, is clad in a raincoat. The British figures are sharply molded, and most are wearing the Mk.II steel helmet as well as greatcoats to protect against the night-time chill. Two such SMLE rifles are included in the set. Dragon has thoughtfully provided the MG with boxes of ammo, the same bullets as fired by the iconic Short Magazine Lee-Enfield rifle (Rifle No.1 Mk.III*). The weapon sits on a tripod and it’s connected to the condenser container necessary for keeping it cool. The 1/35 scale Vickers medium MG is itself a work of art. This exciting British Expeditionary Force Figure Set set fills a glaring gap in the range of plastic figures that are currently available on the market.
