YM7002
British LRDG
70mm white metal
12 parts
Sculpted & Painted by Hiroyuki Ishii

Another beautiful 70mm figure from Young Miniatures sculpted by Hiroyuki Ishii. This figure has the option of 2 different heads.

This figure comes well packaged in Young's standard sturdy black box with a clear plastic sleeve around the box. The figure consists of 12 white metal parts sandwiched between foam for protection.

Above are the 4 views of the 2 optional heads supplied with the kit.

Above is the main part of the Torso shown in all views. Once assembled and painted the Jacket will slide down right over the torso.

The top 2 photos show both the inside and outside of the 2 piece coat. Dry-fitting showed a smooth match along a seam on the back.

The above photos show both sides of the arms which attach to the coat.

The above photo shows the various parts of the gun.

Below are the different versions painted by the sculpter Hiroyuki Ishii.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit from Young Miniatures with very little seam lines and flash to clean. Highly recommended.

AWESOME!! I love Hiroyuki's style.

Thanks once again for a great review.

PS - what does LRDG stand for? (EDIT - sorry, just found it - long range desert group)

Somehow he reminds more of an american gangster of the 50's than a british lrdg member.
Nice sculpting though

You welcome guys. This is a well engineered kit I am sure we will see many times at the shows.
