SS Panzer Officer with T-34 Mantlet base
90mm Resin
12 parts
Sculpted & painted by Young B. Song

Young Miniatures has released the new version of their recent SS Panzer Officer with T-34 Turet kit. This version varies from the original with the T-34 turret being sold resin and forming the base for the figure. The kit is comprised of 12 resin parts and comes packed in Young's traditional black box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam.

Above are the parts right out of the box with the solid resin T-34 turret on the left.

Above are the four sides of the separately cast head.

Above we see the hat which is also cast separately.

Above we see the four views of the chest portion of the torso showing the same attention to detail the original kit had.

Conclusion:

An excellent kit with minimal seam lines and mold blocks to remove. A nice addition to those who didn't want to build the Turret kit. Highly recommended.

This has to be one of the best figures EVER. I have the version with the full turret and the way that Young has captured the folds in the leather and the really arrogant pose are simply superb!! instant classic!!!
