Military figures Vol.16: RAF pilot early jet age

Subject:	RAF pilot
Scale:	1/48
Manufacturer:	ICM
Price	US$ 15,00 plus shipping
Description	Injected plastic model.
Comments	This is ICM's 1/48 scale Royal Air Force personnel. I is a simple but very well done model from ICM. It adds a sense of proportion to aircraft models that is very interesting. Painting was done with Vallejo acrylics. It is highly recommended to anyone who wants to have some form of size comparison for a aircraft model from World War II until the early 50'ties.

Military figures vol.15: Special ops in Iraq

Subject:	Armed assault team - Iraq 2005
Scale:	1/35
Manufacturer:	Trumpeter
Price(April 2015)	US$20,00 plus shipping
Construction:	Out of the box
Extras:	Resin base
Comments	This is one out of four figures by trumpeter that represent an assault team in Iraq, in 2005. I chose one to build in a small vignette. Detail is very good but fit is problematic. There are several choices fro extra gear. Painting was done with Vallejo acrylics overall.

Military figures vol.14: Imperial Japanese Army Officer WWII

Subject:	Imperial Japanese Army Officer WWII
Scale:	1/35
Manufacturer:	Verlinden Productions
Price(April 2015)	US$20,00 plus shipping
Construction:	Out of the box
Extras:	Resin base
Comments	There are very few figures representing Japanese soldiers available on the Market. I got this one on a sale of a closing modelling store and quickly decided to build it. There are two heads, casting is very good and fit is really nice. I apinted it with Vallejo acrylics and used a small resin base for display.

Military figures vol.13: "The Ace" U.S. Air Force Vietnam

Subject:	"The Ace" U.S. Air Force Vietnam
Scale:	1/32
Manufacturer:	Verlinden Productions
Price(April 2015)	US$30,00 plus shipping
Construction:	Out of the box
Extras:	Resin base and scratch build runway segment
Comments	I have always liked these resin short run kits. They show how creative the manufacturers are. You would probably never see such a figure combinations like this from a major plastic kit company. Fit of the parts is really good and the casting is almost perfect. Most of the construction time was expended  in painting all the details. Once ready, the set looks really nice, even for a modeler not used to build figures. The pilot looks like Colonel Robin Olds, the famous american fighter pilot. It would look really nice standing next to a Tamiya F-4C Phamtom.

Military Figures vol.12: U.S. Tank Crew NW Europe

Subject:	U.S. Tank Crew  NW Europe
Scale:	1/35
Manufacturer:	Miniart
Price	US$ 18,00 + shipping
Description	Injection molded set with 5 figures
Comments	This is miniart's 1/35 scale U.S. tank crew in northwest europe during WW2. The quality of the injection is good with just a little bit of flash in some parts. The overall detail looks nice on the sprues, I choose randomly one figure to test the fit and final result of this set. Figure A was chosen. Fit was a problem with all the parts, but specially the head. I eventually replaced the head with a resin one from my spare box. I painted the figure with Vallejo acrylics. I liked the end result but this is not a figure to display alone. It probably will look better in a diorama.
