Eric "Bubi" Hartman
Club 300 JG52
1/10th scale resin
3 parts
Sculpted by Ulrich Puchala

From Centauro-Line Miniatures comes a 1/10th scale resin bust in a series of the famous Club 300 fighter pilots of WWII. Cast in 3 parts gray resin and packaged in a sturdy cardboard box with color guide and references included.

Above photographs show the four views of the head with attention to detail given the hat and its emblems and cords. A small mold block on the back of the hat will need to be removed.

The above photographs show the detail sculpted into the chest with the neck cavity holding the head. Dry-fitting of the head was good with no clean up needed.

In the above photographs we see the head dry-fitted into the neck cavity and see the four views of this fitment.

A light gray resin plinth comes with the kit as shown above.

The above color guide is also supplied with the kit.

Additional Photographs

Conclusion:
An excellent kit with minimal clean-up needed. Sculpting is crisp and clean. Highly recommended.

Excellent bust. I think he had done an excellent job on the hat especially.
German Officer "crusher" hat is very hard to get it right.

Guy,

Thanks for the review!! I have a few autographed items from Hartman and I have seen other bust's of him but they appear to be more of caricature as opposed to something life-like. This one appears to be a must have.
Thanks again.

My initial view was that its superb but on second look the detail seems to be lacking on this cap insignia and on his Kinght's Cross. Pity but that would not stop me form picking this up.
