Looks very nice. Now we just need a 1/35 Vosper MTB for him to stand in front of.

Just HMS was the norm during the war for security reasons.
Nice review Henk.

Thanks guys,

this chap will be looking on the quay side at the LCM 3 on the back of a Dragon Wagon, ready to be transported to the Rhine Crossing area. His Duffelcoat makes him perfect for the time and area.

Cheers

Hi Henk,

Nice review and a good job on the figure. Jakeri have some interesting figures out now and some very interesting ones in the pipeline. I like the casual post of this chap, he's already in the collection.



Now just a word to remind you 'Bedford'?

Cheers, kepp up the good work.

Thanks for the review Henk.
I recently read a description of the briefing given by General Horrocks to the Guards Armored Div before they hit the road to Arnhem where among the motley uniforms being worn Duffel coats are mentioned. With a change of head and some work on the Bellbottoms would this figure be suitable as a Tank Officer NWE 44 or is he wearing too many layers ?

Henk,

Nice review mate. I got mine today and there is no sign of any pitting what soever on the sleeve. Perhaps yours was pre-production?

Pat,

Yes it'll work (it's what I'm doing) Pete sent me the MP's head, The bell bottoms are okay with two patch pockets at the bottom they could pass as Pixi suit trousers (have a look at IWM 15234)

HTH
