Review

 

Another German figure from Dragon that follows the Winter in the Eastern Front theme.

As usual all the items are produced to a high standard and are well put together. The over suit has been subtly 'weathered' by adding stains around the cuffs, ankles and knees thus avoiding the 'just laundered' look. The over suit is not, however, reversible although it has a mouse grey inner side.

The head sculpt is nicely done with a slightly scowling expression. I would like to have seen a steel helmet supplied.

I dislike the cloth M36 cap intensely and will most likely replace it with something appropriate from the spares box.

Disappointingly the Y straps are plastic although the belt is the new style leatherette type with functional buckle.

 

Overall: A nice addition to your collection
