introduction

Vladi decided to give a better look to World War II German soldiers and started to cut their hair, shave their beard and wash their hair. He sculpted a new series named Barberwaffe showing German tankers taking care of themselves. First kit was Barberwaffe-1, now the second kit with two figures B6-35118 Barberwaffe-2 - Kopf und Schultern (Head and Shoulders) depicts a field hair wash.

packing & casting

Figures come in standard light brown cardboard box labeled with a photo showing them assembled and painted. Inside the box; there are four small zip-lock bags - two for body parts, one for arms and one for photoetched parts. Parts are cast in grey resin, casting is clean and details are crisp. No mistakes or air bubbles on the samples but there is a vertical seamline on the left side of the standing figure.

conclusion

Another nice BRAVO-6 two-figure kit for World War II at rest scenes. It can be a part of a camp diorama or can create a diffferent scene next to a German tank for crew at a short break.
