Russian Tanker
with Gas Can
1/35th Figure Set No. WA35544
Review by Terry Ashley

The figure is made up of five parts with a full body plus separate head and arms as well as the Jerry Can with left hand attached.
The quality of the casting is excellent with nicely detailed uniform and fabric textures and well defined facial features. The fit of the parts is also very good with no filler needed on the arm joins and the hand attached to the Jerry can has a hole which fits over a small pin inside the cuff at the end of the left arm for a very snug fit between the arm and hand with the Jerry Can.

There is only the usual casting blocks to be removed but take care when cleaning up the helmet as the pour point is along the central strip of raised helmet padding and is easy to break off along with the excess resin, also there were a few minor seam lines on the inside of the legs due to them being cast in one piece with the upper body but these are easily removed.

In all a simple yet well detailed figure to add to any diorama setting.

The figure set is available in the US from VLS and in Australia from Firestorm Models.
