Hi Costas
This is a copy of the original illustration from a page of the magazine "Military Illustrated" (Oct 1991). I hope it is of some use.

Hi Costas,

I painted my version of this classic Kirin kit over 10 years ago.

Costas

 

[Major_Goose]

Nice work also Tony !
What do you both use for the map that is in the case ?

If I remember correctly, the map came with the kit Costas.

 

[Major_Goose]

hmmmm unfortunately its missing from mine , but i guess i ll come up with something

Can't remember if it came with a map but I painted mine (very slowly!)

I was told afterwards though that maps from this period are much more likely to be one colour, so using a real map as reference is advisable.

I think Derek Hansen's one of the key guys at Accurate Armour. Just saw a recent posting from him on Missing Lynx.

He's one of my favourite sculptors and my favourites are his Uhlan for Poste Militaire (now re-released by Elite Miniatures) and the German officer mentioned in this thread. I'm currently painting the original PM Uhlan (unfortunately I have been at it for over a year!!!)
