Master Box 32021 1/35 Greco-Persian Wars #8 – Persian Lightly Armed Warrior Takabara

Kit 32021 continues the series of kits dedicated to the Greco-Persian wars of the 5th century BC and represents a set of parts for assembling a figure of Persian Lightly Armed Warrior.
Such lightly armed warriors, who were called Takabara, were an analogue of the Ancient Greek Peltasts. Their task was to attack the enemy’s battle formations with projectile weapons, disrupt their ranks, confuse their battle formations, inflict the maximum possible damage and thereby prepare favorable conditions for the attack of their heavily armed brethren. The figure is offered in two versions: in one case, the Takabara throws a spear, in the other, he engaged in hand-to-hand combat and fights with a battle axe.
The figure is made at a high artistic level and is rather miniature sculpture.
If desired, the modeller can make an expressive vignette using only this figure, or a larger fight scene by using all available figures of this series.
