introduction
After his Barberwaffe series depicting German Tankers at rest with nice poses to create realistic World War II behind the frontlines scenes , Vladi added another unusual posed tanker to BRAVO-6 product range.
B6-35121 German Tanker depicts a German tanker in his Panzer crew uniform posed to pee. I can imagine so many scenes to display this figure in a diorama, but
this one could be an exceptional work.:)
packing & casting
Kit comes in standard light brown cardboard box labeled with a photo of the painted figure. Kit content is inserted into a transparent zip-lock bag.
Parts are cast in medium gray resin. Resin quality is good, details are crisp and clean. A short cleanwork will be needed for the vertical seamlines on both sides and to remove resin part supporting the back skirt of jacket.
review
Posed standing with his legs spread slightly wide open to pee; figure comes as a full figure which will need no assembly. Facial details for a just relaxed expression and piping, national emblem and cockade on the
Side cap/Feldmütze are well defined. He wears a pocketless, half-open in front with four buttons
M40 German Army undershirt with long sleeves. Over his shirt, he has
Panzer Wrap Jacket and
M40 Panzer Trousers. Cloth folds and wrinkles on the uniform, side pockets of trousers with scalloped single-button flaps, shoulder straps, collar tabs, buttons, breast eagle of jacket are all well defined. As for the footgear, he has
Long leather boots.
Arms are posed to pee with left hand holding the fly of pants and right hand aiming his weapon for a clean shot.
As you may know,
Vladimir Demchenko likes to make humor on PE assembly guides on BRAVO-6 boxes, this time he carried his humor inside the kit giving 3 pee guns in different calibers. :)
conclusion
A rare figure with his unusual pose in nice sculpt in crisp details and clean cast. Useful one to make different World War II German Tankers scenes.
