Review

 

A further expansion of Dragons 'Exclusives', the subject of this figure has been regularly requested by collectors of Dragon models for a long time. 

The figure is nicely produced featuring a new head sculpt and new 'leather' jacket,  leather trousers and grey gloves. All the other items have been used on previous figures and are up to the usual high Dragon standard. The officer tunic is really good, having very nice 'french' cuffs.

Having said that, Dragon have still used the poor plastic style belt as used on 'Erich Hartmann' and 'Michael Wittman' but this time in brown - Arrrrrrrrrghhhhh!!. 

 

Another small gripe here, the collar insignia are printed on and, although more in keeping with the scale, are not that brilliant and appear to be too high on the collar. It would be nice to see separately printed insignia for application by the collector.

 

The grey gloves are interesting in that they are made of, what looks like,  a grey 'knitted' foam material over a, I think, plastic insert - they probably won't last more than a couple of years before they turn to dust!

 

Overall: A nice figure. The leather jacket and trousers are superb. Get one if you can.
