The Rescue
1/35th Figure Set No. FST034
Another fine release
from Firestorm aimed directly at the diorama builder.
This resin kit has one large casting of a US Infantryman carrying a small child. The full figure includes upper body and legs plus the child all in one casting, only his right arm with separate hand cast holding a Thompson SMG, head and boots are separate with the child having one foot separate.
The detail on the figures is again first class with face and clothing details well defined, it is also good to see seams in the trousers.
The resin used is a greenish gray colour and you should undercoat the figures in a light sand colour before painting, this will help with the flesh tones if using oils.
Should look good in any diorama of US troops in the ETO.
This and other figure sets are available direct for Firestorm Models at: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~firestorm1/
Thanks to David from Firestorm
