Resicast
35586
The
second of Resicast's airborne trio, this figure sitsa little
stiffly, perhapswith one hand on his knee and the other holding
onto his Tommy gun. It's understandable that he might not feel very
relaxed in enemy territory. The figure is cast in four parts, and
with the exception of a few small molding plugs to remove, the casting
is virtually flawless.
In
a little ziplock baggie, separate from the baggie containing the
figure parts, are several carriers of gear and weapons similar to
those found with the other two figures. The additional items are
magazine pouches for the Thompson submachine gun. The gun itself
is packaged with the figure parts, the left hand molded onto it
for a good, realistic grip. With no extra straps molded to the figure,
you can add the straps to the various ammo bags and lay them on
the ground next to him. Again, choose the rubberized M7 gas mask
carrier.
As
with his companions, this figure is on the short side of the 1/35
scale, though his submachine gun is the same size as those from
Warriors and Tamiya. I was hoping to group them with a pair of resting
paratroopers from CMK, who stand at 6'4". At least at this
point the match-up is a bit incongruous, partly due to size, partly
due to exquisite detail of the Resicast figures and the less refined
CMK chaps. Let's hope that Resicast has more of these devils in
baggy pants up their sleeveso to speak.
