Historical background: The American gangster world of the 1920s and 1930s became legendary not only thanks to infamous criminals like Al Capone or Dutch Schultz, but also for its iconic style and weaponry. Gangsters participated in numerous "gang wars" for control over the illegal alcohol trade, prostitution, and gambling—scenes especially visible in metropolises like Chicago and New York during the Prohibition (1920–1933). Thompson submachine guns, suits, overcoats, and fedora hats became symbols of this era.

Contents and details: This MiniArt set offers carefully crafted figurines in dynamic poses. Each character has realistically rendered facial features, clothing details, and characteristic accessories—firearms (including the iconic Thompson), pocket watches, and briefcases. The model requires self-assembly and painting, making it a great field for enthusiasts of realistic finishes to showcase their skills.

Recommendations and difficulty: This product is especially recommended for intermediate modelers and collectors who appreciate original civilian themes, urban settings, or film dioramas. The build difficulty is rated at 3/5—it requires precision in cutting, assembling, and painting numerous details and character equipment elements.

• Ideal for interwar period dioramas or layouts inspired by film noir.
