Great box art, the plastic is a bit different. Is it me or does this guy have a narrow waist? I expect I’ll get one just to find out, they’re cheap enough. The ICM SWAT wasn’t much cop.

Is the breed of dog (it appears to be coloured as a German Shepherd) appropriate? I remember reading that the IDF (or perhaps just Bedouin trackers?) favoured Hounds of Canaan - similar shape, slightly smaller (to my eye) and with a different colour palette.
I think that dog could pass as either; how about a nice off-white?

As seen here,

Yes, the waist does look too narrow. I wonder if one can hide it with spare pouches...
