I just received this figure, and like all of the other Ultracast figures I have seen, it is exquisite. The detail on the figure is first rate. I have used some of the heads from the North African theatre Commonwealth Tank crew, and they almost paint themselves (note, I said almost!). This figure looks just as good.

This figure consists of 7 parts. The head, torso, legs (one piece), two arms and two feet. The figure is seated with his arms crossed over his knees. I checked the fit, and it is excellent. There are positive attachment points for the arms on the torso so that they'll line up across the front of the figure, and there is an indentation in each arm where they rest across the knees. This may limit the use of the figure in conversions, but a little putty would fill the indentations. The uniform blouse is stretched over the figure's shoulders as it should be for someone in this pose. The head as provided will result in a figure looking to his right, as if waiting for a superior officer or NCO to come and tell him what to do next. Basically he's waiting for something to happen. There are no mold lines to speak of on this figure, and the resin carriers are very thin at their attachment points.

I highly recommend this figure.
