Hi

I purchased these figures, just like I did with the other three U.S figures from Trumpeter. I have only started on one. I have to say for the price( $13 AUS) I am pretty impressed buy this figure so far. Don't get me wrong there not like the resin ones but you not payng that price. So far I like this set far better than the first two and I really love the detail on the rubber vests.

Just like most plastic figures people get, I have changed the head..........no not Hornet but with Alpine minatures left over heads in there OIF U.S tank crew set.

To be honest, I have spent about half an hour on this figure so far straight from the box till here. I didn't really do any clean up so far but will a little later. I did change the hand a bit to get the gun to sit better.

Anyway since these are new figures I thought some of you might want a quick look at what one might look like.
Comments, questions welcomed!

Hobby Fan ones are among the best too...the MARPAT Marines and the Stryker riflemen.

The BLAST ones are very good too. Do bear in mind that because they were made at different times, not all of the figures are the same height and size.

Just an update

I am doing this figure quickly for christmas for someone, so it is a little rushed. I am sure if someone spent more time on this figure it could come out great.
