This figure is very similar in style and quality as its predecessor. It just has four parts, the body, head, and two feet. Again clad in a melton coat, this GI has a bedroll attached to his back with no visible means of support; you'll want to add a bit of fine thread over his shoulder and under his arm to give it a more real look. The backside of the right arm is molded to accept a Garand, which you'll have to provide from your spares. The head is nicely sculpted with a woolen toque covering much of the face and the helmet camouflaged with a white sheet.

There's a bit of a pour plug to carve off, and that's complicated by the concave shape of the butt-side of this figure, which allows him to sit more convincingly on a tank turret.
