 Subject:  Cookie's "Achtung Jabo" Figure ReviewList thread.  
  
 Date:  Oct 28, 2003

Hi

I was wondering if the figures in this set have 'shabby' looking
uniforms. I think the review suggests this, but I'm feeling a bit dense
today! I'm wondering how well this can be rendered in plastic. In
looking through various references I've noted how little the uniforms in
those photos match those of the vast majority of resin and plastic
figures. It would be a nice change to see this in a kit.

My guess is that the creases should be sharper than they are generally
rendered, and the fit of the clothes should be a lot worse. There are
some great photos of these in the Tiger I on the Western Front book.

Any further info on that figure set would be a help.

Cheers
Andy
