Excellent work Benjamin- the facial tones and the tones of the clothes are brilliant.

Benjamin,

Outstanding!

Now I gotta watch the movie again. The book was great, too!

If I recall, a DML kit of Stalingrad about 10 years ago - I think it is titled Cross of Iron - has a figure that looks like Coeburn.

Thanks Fred
Yes you are right. DML did release a 1/35 kit with 4 figures titled Cross of Iron.

The jacket is coming on really nicely- it offers such an interesting contrast to the field grey tunic.

Thanks guys. Approaching the finishing line, some weathering on the jacket and adding on the rifle sling and it's done
