Civilian Farm Animals

My Airfix World War Two German officer has been employed to show the size of the smallest single figure ever made in a set of 1/72nd scale soft plastic figures. It is a pigeon, right there next to his left foot. And the second smallest figure is a laying hen, next to his right foot.
Pegasus Models has leaked out a set of their new Civilian Farm Animals and they are not only small but very nice. Unlike the Attack of the Killer Chickens from the old Airfix Farm Animals set, the animals are correctly proportioned. The small goat herd seen above shows male, female and kid together.
The milk maids from the Imex Pioneer set will have more work to do with these cows, that include a bull and cow laying down. Also just visible is a small donkey.

I am not sure if these are specifically Nazi Pigs, but these swine include both male and female and two different piglet poses.
Finally ram, sheep and two different dog poses round out the set. These are pre-production, top secret, figures; you are seeing them here first. That means the finished product will be modified, certainly the color of plastic will be different, probably brown, and there will be more actual figures, but these are all the poses.

Animals have been hard to get and with much of warfare taking place in rural areas, farms and farm animals are a natural item for Pegasus to make. The already make a small village of Russian farm houses that will be greatly enhanced by the presence of these critters. Many armies as late as World War Two carried much of their food supply on the hoof so these will be useful for many armies.

No word yet on when these will actually hit the shops, but with a good looking test shot like this it can't be too long. I would look for them to be home in time for Thanksgiving dinner, or at Christmas by the latest. Subject to change without notice and your mileage my vary.
