introduction

Paracel Miniatures lately added a new kit to Run for Your Life series with two terrorist corpses that can be used in Middle East or Afghanistan dioramas.
MW3505 Terrorist Takedown includes two 1/35 scale resin figures depicting dead terrorists lying on the ground.

packing&casting

Figures come in a cardboard box labeled with a photo of figure painted by Jangleo, also the sculptor. Body parts and small parts are seperately inserted into transparent zip-lock bags.
Figures are sculpted in crisp details and cast clean in cream color resin. Parts are represented with casting blocks. I think there is no need to remove the figures from the blocks because the block can be used as a nice base when covered or /and painted.

figures

Figures are given in one-piece which no assembly is required.

FIGURE-A
Lying on the ground flat on his back, he shows a well sculpted anatomic pose for a dead body. He has a Balaclava exposing only eyes on his head. He wears a military type hooded parka with waist pockets, combat trousers with side pockets. There is a Shemagh - Arab scarf wrapped around his neck and a three pouch Chest rig is carried under the parka. As for the footgear, he has an ankle high sports shoe on his right foot and left foot is bare.
In my opinion; it would be great if the missing shoe and a rifle were added inside the kit to display next to this figure.

FIGURE-B :
Lying prone on the ground, he is posed with a head turned to left side and left arm under his chest. Posing is quite well but to be honest, I think position of the left leg and left hand closed as fist could be more proper. He has a Shemagh on his head used as a facemask. He wears a jacket or parka, trousers and slipper type shoes. He carries an ammo link coiled to his waist and chest, crossed on his left shoulder. Note that some filling may be need between legs on his butt. I echo a weapon suitable to the ammo link could be a good additon to display with this figure.

conclusion

If you need to add dead bodies to modern war dioramas, these figures will fill the gap for Middle East scenes. No assembly, not much cleanwork and multiple painting options.
