"US Marine Pacific WWII"
1/16th scale resin - 14 parts including metal wire
Sculpted & Painted by Andy Cairns

Marine 01.jpg

The 3rd in a series of 5 reviews is of a full figure 1/16th scale resin figure depicting a US Marine in the Pacific during WWII. Cast in 13 resin parts with a coil of wire included for the phone lines needed. This figure, as all of Andy's figures and busts is loaded with character. Dry fitting was excellent as you will see later in the review.

Arriving in AC Model's sturdy cardboard box with a box art photograph on the front this kit was well wrapped in bubble wrap to ensure against breakage during shipping. The bottom photo show all the parts laid out for inspection as the photography begins.
