Hi All,
some of you may already of seen this,but its one of the last kits I finished before Euro,its a Michael Roberts 54mm, he's a PFC, Okinawa was a hard time for the U.S troops,fighting the Japanese on there own ground,the flamethrower was used a lot, to flush out the Japanese,so i gave the base some scorched earth look....
Few changes to the kit,I replaced the right hand,rifle, the sling was made from electrical tape,and added a dog tag around his neck.
Painted in humbrols as per the norm with most of my work.
Best Regards
Paul
