Introduction

Producer of the high quality World War II figures Rado Miniatures keeps adding more unique pieces to their product range. Lately Radek combined two single figure kits to create another interesting scene.

RDM35024 Move Jerry is a two-figure kit in 1/35 scale and cast in resin with RDM-35022 W-SS Tanker POW, 1944-45 and RDM-35023 British Trooper with Lee Enfield No.4, 1973-45.

Review

Kit comes in company’s standard clear square box labeled with boxart painted by Toshihiro Sano. Both figures and small parts of each figure are inserted into seperate zip-lock bags and small parts are double secured with small cardboards with Rado logo.

Figures are sculpted in 1/35 scale by Radek Pituch and cast very clean in medium gray resin with sharp details. Casting blocks are marked in kit numbers to make assembly easier. No mistakes, deformations or visible seamlines on the figures.

German Tanker POW

Sculpted as a walking POW with his arms in the air; figure comes in 5 parts;

He wears double breast and short waist Panzer Wrap Jacket and Panzer Trousers, both painted in Pea dot pattern on the boxart but can be painted in black/grey or other camo patterns. He carries an enlisted men/NCO leather Belt with metal buckle on his waist. Besides nicely sculpted folds and wrinkles, jacket details like wide collars with pointed edges, shoulder boards, button holes, trouser details like baggy look, wide trotters and side pockets with single buttoned flap covers are well defined.
