The figure is standing in a relaxed pose with arms on his hips and wears the Assault Gun crew tunic with additional neck scarf and reversible winter trousers as well as a pair of field binoculars and the usual two alternate heads. These offer a choice of fur lined cap and forage cap that gives a distinctly different look to the figure depending on the head choice.
The full body is cast as one piece with just separate arms and heads with a bare minimum of cleanup required on the small casting blocks on the feet and heads, there is some minor casting seams in the insides of the legs that is easily removed with a #11 blade.
Detail on the uniform is well done with nicely defined fabric seams, pockets and collars with the facial features also well done with natural expressions that will come up with painting.
Assembly was very straightforward without any trimming or other alterations required, most notably with the arms that fit very snugly into the shoulders for quick and easy assembly.
As with previous figures I added a small “wire” pin to the
neck to go into a hole drilled into the body to make fitting and swapping the heads easier but the head fit if you just want to glue the chosen head in
place. This also allows the heads to be painted separate and easily attached
later. A small tip if you do add the pin is to always drill the hole for the pin at right angles to the neck cut-off on both the torso and head as this will ensure the head sits correctly as intended when fitted together.

Highly recommended 9/10
