Vietnam War mystery U.S. figure

[Babelfish]

Anyone recognise this one?

The arms are terrible and would need either work or completely replacing. The rest of it's OK though.

Hi Steve,

What scale is it, if its 120mm-1/16 it would go well with this kit from Ulrich Grotjahn..

It's a Latorre figure (54mm) for Elite Miniatures Steve.
This is in my GA and, like yourself, has had me perplexed as to what to do with the arms.
Apart from that it's an excellent sculpt and casting.

Cheers,
Andrew

Yes that's what I was thinking too. I have that Grotjahn kit (I snapped it up on eBay after stumbling across it quite by chance about a year ago, having previously been unaware of its existence), but the info provided by Andrew has scuppered that idea. I even thought it might have been another Grotjahn figure.

Surprised to learn that it's a Latorre piece because those arms are way below his usual standard of sculpting. An early effort perhaps.

Somehow this one has flown under my radar all these years. I'd never seen it before. Does any of that base come with it?

Just the figure Steve, and the lack of base/scenery is not stated on the box.

I always think it's a bit cheeky when they do that, and don't say base/scenery not included. I've been caught out by that a couple of times myself.
