Hello everyone! A new set started in 2020 is my first try to this excellent Airfix issue of WW2 "U.S.Paratroopers " in 54mm or 1:32 scale.
Beautifull figures in special poses and hopefully the faces do not have mould lines in the middle!
This is a significant detail to have a nice painted face and unfortunatelly many of the Airfix sets are having this problem...
Some things that I would like them to be better in these figures is , at first, the weapons detail. Some of the poses , as it is in the officer above , have poor detail in the weapons sculpture so you cannot do many things there.. And then is the uniforms patch. Knee patches are not sculpted here so you have to paint them as I did in one of the figures below. This is not a problem but if there was a sculpted line I believe the result would be better..
Anyway, in general I like the set very much and enjoy painting it. Here are some more pictures of the first three figures, in black and white background..( Yes I still have that issue ,:) ..)
Thats all for now. Hope you like them :)
..'till next time...
