Arriving in Young's sturdy black box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam the small parts are sealed inside a zip-lok bag to insure against loss while being shipped. The bottom photo shows all the parts to this kit out of the box and bag and ready for inspection and to be photographed.

Above you see various views of the separate cast head showing the angles from all sides. The Tanker helmet is cast in several parts for better realism.

Above are the separate cast parts for the remainder of the helmet as well as the straps and cigarette.

That's me! Guy, another spectacular review of yet another stunning Young release. I have a sculptor-crush on Hiroyuki Ishii, and I'm man enough to admit it!

Pristine sculpting, casting and painting by Mr Ishi here - another stunner, and thanks for the trouble taken to review here guy.

Thanks for the review! Another must-have for me. Now if someone could wake up Belgian customs out of their summer slumber, which BTW closely follows their hibernation, I might be able to get one of these in this lifetime!

cheers

Thanks for the review!

Been working on the face for two days. Really want to steal that trick from Mr Ishii and give the commander some wonderful redness around and on the nose. And not with much success.

Personally the greatest aspect of this kit is the way the jacket has been micro-managed down to the smallest , least visible fold. I am not afraid to admit too that I have a massive crush on Mr Ishii.
