Review

 

Another great figure from Dragon! The head sculpt is very good, not too bland but not overdone either.

The uniform and equipment are up to the usual high Dragon standard and there are several 'new' items.

The first new item is the assault vest. This is very finely done and, I think is superior to the one made by Cotswold (now discontinued). Also on the new list are the brown shirt with rank and infantry insignia and the assault gas mask bag (no gas mask unfortunately). The figure comes with improved Thompson - more detailed wood graining - and Browning pistol. The boots and leggings are 'weathered' but sit rather uneasily with the rest of the uniform and equipment that are 'pristine', still some judicious weathering on these, should you feel like it, would solve that.

 

Overall: An extremely attractive addition to your WWII US figure collection. Get one!
