It is a Dragon’s German tank crew figure. Since I did not feel like making such a kit only when I made a German tank with many hatches, it was excellent timing to make it when I completed the Neubau tank.
The headphone may be finished real with the photo-etched parts.
I replaced it with a resin head and planted the hair with epoxy putty.

German tank soldiers showing the upper body from the hatch are always excellent.
Because the color of tank soldiers is rose pink, it is a good accent for black tanker uniforms.
I think having figures of various physiques and heights is more interesting. Sometimes, Dragon’s figure body is too thick chest and the shoulder is too wide. This kit seems to be like that.
The French wine seized at the French front. Neubau did not match the soldier who looked out from the turret because the folded antenna was disturbing. I guess it will fit nicely with type III and IV tanks.
It felt like a local German beer rather than a French red wine. I attached a gold decal anyway.
Some of the six crews were made with blond hair.
Neubau-Fahrzeug’s multi-turret tank has six crews, so even if placing a lot of figures on a tank, the situation is not bad. Although I thought that weathering to a color of German-Gray AFV was done too much, The combination of the black uniform tank crew looks precisely well with the tank weathering. The figure might have the effect of adapting the weathering to a single display.
I like this natural expression.
He has a pipe, so it’s better to look more relaxed. But during the painting of the face, it is too small. I can not afford to think about that.
Blond hair. It was a skinhead; I added his hair too much.
It is rare to make a figure of a riding-on-a-car from a turret; it was fun thinking of poses with a vehicle.
This situation is interesting. But eye contact needed a slight adjustment.
It became a finished work with plenty of cheerful poses and no feelings of sadness because it was a German army at the time of the winning battle.

I am interested in models of tanks, airplanes, ships, military figures, I build them little by little when I feel like it. I am also interested in the history of war. My starting is Tamiya’s Military Miniature series in elementary school.
From elementary school through university students repeatedly suspend and restart my modeling, it’s about 25 years of this hobby’s history.
From February 2007 I was quietly doing a site called “Miniature-Arcadia”. It is being transferred to this blog with the same name from December 2016. My update pace is uneven, but please come to see me here occasionally.
