| THE KIT |
Here is a modern set for those so inclined. This has six figures portraying members of the
Russian Anti-Terroris Unit 'Vimpel'. These modern figures all are wearing 'flak' jackets and wearing the latest in 'civil unrest' paraphenalia. This includes helmets with face shields and one has a full body shield. There are also various modern weapons being wielded by most and they have various pouches and packs as well.
The molding on the parts is extremely good with no sunken areas, no flash and no ejector pin markings. The mounting positions for the various pieces of equipment (packs and such) is well defined to help make for trouble-free construction. Unlike many other figure sets, this one has a clear set of construction drawings for each figure and a painting guide using Model Master paints. This is repeated on the back of the box with full color images of the completed figures.
| CONCLUSIONS |
Overall an interesting and well done set. Something that one doesn't see every day and should make into a most interesting diorama. Perhaps rescuing civilians held hostage in a theater......
