Soldier bust vol.6: Hans Ulrich Rudel

Subject:	Hans Ulrich Rudel
Scale:	1/9
Manufacturer:	Unknow
Price(march 2016):	US$40,00
Construction:	Out-of-the box construction.
Extras:	None
Paints:	I was recently given this bust. By the Iron cross with oak leaves, sword and diamonds at the neck of the figure, it believe it represents Hans Ulrich Rudel. The shape of the figure is very similar to the german pilot, so i googled the name and scale and found some nice pictures of the painted model. The casting is very good and detail is fantastic. I used a resin base i have stored for a while as there was none for the bust. Below you see the final result. I hope you like it!

Soldier Bust vol.5: Kamikaze

Subject:	Kamikase
Scale:	1/9
Manufacturer:	Legend productions
Price	US$30,00+ shipping
Description	Resin cast. No decals
Comments	This is  Legend's 1/9 kamikase bust. The quality of the casting is fantastic, with no air bubbles. Details are very nice and not affected by the resin molding blocks. Bellow you can see the parts you get in the box. They came in a sealed bag with bubble plastic for protection. My sample came with the jacket collar broken in several small pieces. The part is very fragile. I saw a review on the web of the same kit where the modeler removed this detail. I decided o fix the bust using some epoxy putty. Not an easy task, but it worked fine in the end. Painting was done with several different brands of acrylic paints. A coat of future followed by another one of Humbrol's matt coat finalized the job.

1) Kit parts

Comments	I got this bust without box or instructions. So i don't know the manufacturer or any other detail about it. I painted it with Vallejo acrylics to represent a splinter fall camouflage. Fit and detail are excellent . This suggests that the kit is from a major resin figure manufacturer.
