This figure shows a paratrooper of
II.Battalion, Fsch Jg Rgt 25 in the besieged Breslau , turning his eyes with some concern to the air, where the Russian Air Force is encountering German troops by mass.
The kit comes from Diotech Number 9508/25, 120mm scale. I built it mainly unaltered.
The materials are: Resin for limbs torso and head, tin for hands, rifle, water bottle and dixie.
The figure needs some rework to extinguish the bubbles and ridges.
The helmet and the head are moulded in one piece. Unfortunately it seems funny as the helmet is very low above the eyes. So I turned the head upwards to resemble a fearful look up to the sky.
Painting by Valejo and oil colours acomplished the task.
