Close-Combat Eastern Front 1941-1942 Master Box 1/35

It is a military figure of a theme like a Master Box, two Russian soldiers, and two German soldiers fighting each other. In the package, the German soldier has rolled up the sleeves but did not in the figure.

The thin weight for fishing was added to the inside of the helmet of the Russian army. There was something like a protective putt of black leather.

It is the only one among four figures using the head in this kit. The quality is very high and not inferior, even if it is aligned with a resin. I reproduced the helmet’s chin strap with brItp; it might have been better to put the helmet a little more d for Russian soldiers fighting at the scoopeeply. Adjustment is difficult because Hornet’s resin head is quite vertically long. I think that the figure of the Master Box has a lot of small faces compared with the Dragon. I like the shallow wearing helmet because I can not see the expression as wearing a helmet deeply. Keep looking at the nice mold faces.

I tried replacing it with a resin head. The original head of this kit seems a good expression of urgency. I added hair, but a little failure became long hair.

There are situations like this when assaulting against enemy trench or battling between adjacent buildings in urban fighting. Soldiers are important for essential physical strength.

Also, even in battles at night fighting and in heavy fog, there was no night vision system like in the modern age, and there might have been a melee fight.

This time it’s all painted with a brush. The clothes’ shade and the face’s painting are still tricky.

Germany Infantry. He has a bayonet on the rifle and is standing by for a melee fight. I guess soldiers were using a helmet with a mark in 1941. I tried separately sold decals on both sides of the helmet.

The figure is roughly 5 cm in length. It is about the same as AA batteries.

This is also a German soldier who is attacking with a dagger. I changed his head with a strong expression resin one.

A Russian soldier is fighting with his scoop. I used an iron screw in the base and implanted a neodymium magnet behind his feet. Because the magnetic force is strong, it stands steadily for decorating even in the unbalanced pose. I thought it was a pose with a feeling of dynamism, like the movie Matrix.

Only this figure was the original head, and the rest was changed. The original has no problem at all. Maybe I did not have to replace others, either. Early kits of the Dragon and all expressionless figures it is effective. Nothing is much appreciated as a user if the mold or expressive face is excellent from the beginning.

I added a cushion on the back of the helmet and painted it black. I made it, but it was dark, and I could not see much.

Perhaps it is a combination like this as the kit package.

Russian soldier, I added that a neodymium magnet was the most impressive. I still have some kits in a similar situation. I like the relaxing pose, but sometimes these are also interesting. See you soon.
