Two SS tankers in Arto's new 35th scale products...

SS-Oscha.Terdenge '635'

Kit No #35013 

From Arto Productions

1/35th scale

Light grey resin.

Sculpted by Gwangyeol Lee

This is the fourth figure in the 12th SS 6 Kompanie series. This figure was sculpted by Gwangyeol Lee, based on famous real archival photographs of the real man. He is wearing a leather uniform top and bottom and a leather winter hat. This cap is common in tankers of the 3SS Panzer Division during the battle of Kharkov in the winter of 1943.

He wears big binoculars around his neck which give this figure its distinctiveness. The figure was made for the Panzer IV Ausf H, but can be used for all tanks in late war. Panzer IV H~J, StuG III, Panther, Tiger-I, Tiger-I and "Paper Panzers".

Headphone photo-etch metal is included.

SS-Uscha. Otto Blase

Kit No #35022 

From Arto Productions

1/35th scale

Light grey resin.

Sculpted by Gwangyeol Lee

SS-Uscha. Otto Blase is a veteran of sSS-Pz.Abt.101 during World War Two. This light grey resin cast figure  by Gwangyeol Lee was sculpted based on famous real archival photographs. He is wearing an Italian camouflage hat that is common in late War. He is wearing a greatcoat from the early days of WWII with various colourful insignia. This shows a fairly interesting uniform combination, with the 6 x 30 power opticals hanging on his chest.

The figure from the back, you can see the fold in the rear of the coat and the pinched fabric near where the belt tapers in to his waist, The shoulder blades and angle of the head all show some veryu nice human study and body language.

A previously released version of figures "35010" and 35012 fit in extremely well with this figure. Of course, this figure can also be used separately during other stages of WWII due to his coat and other gear. We have previewed these also on The Modelling News - take a look!
