Bravo-6 Miniatures
B6-35004
US Infantry Machine Gunner Vietnam 1968
1/35th scale resin
13 parts
Sculpted by Vladimir Demchenko

Vladimir Demchenko brings us another in the "Platoon" series US Army figures from the Vietnam era. This figure depicts an Afro American in full military gear with ammo belts over his shoulders and a bandana tied around his head. The helmet is optional and could be used on the soldier or as an accessory.

Bravo-6 figures come in a sturdy brown box with the figure and all parts sealed in a small zip-lock bag. A decal sheet is also provided for the insignias and shoulder patches. The above kit out of the box for inspection and you can see the 13 resin parts ready for clean-up.

Above you see the main torso of the figure with the casting struts still attached. This helps in the shipping give the head support until the painter is ready for prelimary clean-up prior to painting.

Above are close-ups of the front of the figure clearly showing the Afro American facial features, belts and straps and the bandana tied around his head. Am immense amount of detail for a 1/35th scale figure.

Above you see several views of the helmet. Strap accross the top holding the water bottle and the pack of cigarettes.
