I have just received the newly released Ultracast US Tanker (35040)
Europe 1944-45. It is one of two new US offerings.
The figure is all resin, with separate right arm and head. Superbly
sculpted and the attention to detail is in the usual high Ultracast
quality. The folds, seams around pockets, zipper, detail and pose are spot
on. Clean up requires snipping off the sprue under the figures boots and
removing flash in between the legs. No pits, no bubbles, and superbly
cast.
The head is very well done and typical of Ultracast with nicely done
facial features. The exposed right hand is well defined and the helmet
looks accurate and very well sculpted. The figure is true to 1/35th scale
and Ultracast continues to pay close attention to dimension/size/anatomy
right down to the most minute of details which tends to be overlooked by
some manufacturers.
Kevin has come through with yet another unique and superb Allied figure
for his growing arsenal of figures. The above figure can be viewed at:
