Royal
Model
193
This
is a versatile soldier, relaxing with a well-earned cup of Joe,
or maybe something even more relaxing. The unaccredited sculptor
has done an excellent job of crossing the figure's right leg over
his left, a pose that other figures from Verlinden and Warriors
have not captured as successfully. The feet are cast separately
from the main body, as are the arms and head. The left hand is molded
onto the left hip, and the fit of the arm works nicely between the
hand and shoulder. The head is sculpted with an expressive face
under the knit cap. The only accessories are the holstered Colt
.45 that fits snugly on his chest, a canteen, an M1 helmet.
Even
though he's wearing a tanker's winter combat jacket, this fellow
could be posed with any type of AFV or softskin. The insignia in
the box art suggests 82nd Airborne, and he could conceivably be
a glider pilot or infantry.
This
is an excellent figure, highly recommended for your "break
time" diorama.
