B6-35018
Australian SAS "Best Wishes", Vietnam 1968
1/35th scale resin
11 resin parts
Sculpted by Vladimir Demchenko

Vladimir Demchenko of Bravo 6 Miniatures has brought to us an Australian SAS soldier from the Vietnam era of 1968. He is shown giving the age old "Finger" as a sign of Best Wishes to another comrade.

Packaged in a sturdy brown cardboard box with the parts to the kit sealed in separate zip-lok bags to insure against loss during shipping. A color photo of the figure is on the box top for painting reference.

Above we see the 11 resin parts out of the box and sealed bag.

Above you see the four sides of the figure showing the quality detail Bravo 6 has become noted for.

Above you see the separate cast left arm and hand with the classic "Finger" up to give his best wishes.

Above you see the separate cast right arm and hand holding his weapon.

Above is the separate cast ammo belt attached to the casting block.

Above you have the various accessories showing the front and back of each item.

Above are some photos from Bravo 6 showing the figure both front and back.

Conclusion:
An excellent figure keeping with Bravo 6's consistent quality and detail in 1/35th scale figures. Minimal clean-up required prior to painting. Highly recommended!

Wow, we say "best wishes" in American just like they do in Australian. Who woulda thunk it? Beautiful casting and great review, Guy.

Very good these - as for the "gesture" there are in fact 3 different versions - in Britain and elswhere - I don't wish to lecture to the converted however as they are all capable of creating a sense of humour failier to the recipient.

Thanks for posting, RobH.

Not wishing to detract from the figure, the "gesture" has various connotations as we all know.
