Introduction
Besides
B6-35127 Morning Spam, a single figure kit depicting a World War II U.S. Tanker eating his meal from ration can;
BRAVO*6 has another kit
B6-35126 French Toast with two figures on the same subject to have a complete set of tankers at rest and eating next to a fire.
Review
Figures come in standard light brown cardbard box labeled in front with a photo of the figures painted by
Vladimir Demchenko, also the sculptor.Inside the box, figure bodies and small parts of each figure are inserted into seperate transparent ziplock bags.
Parts are cast in grey resin and represented with the casting blocks marked as A and B. Resin quality is good, details are clean and sharp. No casting mistakes or holes on the review samples, no need for a serious cleanwork.
Both Tankers wear HBT coveralls, 2nd Pattern Tanker Jacket and leather boots. One piece HBT coverall was a popular clothing due to its comfort and its resistence to dirt and only issued to U.S. mechanics and to tankers during World War II. It was designed with a bi-swing back, a belt, two breast pockets, two patch hip pockets and a back pocket. Tanker jacket in windbreaker design with zipper front was a waist cut, medium weight jacket with two hand warmer style slash pockets. Wrinkles and folds on one-piece suit with loaded pockets and jacket details like wool knit collar, waistband, cuffs and zipper are very well defined.
