Is that a decal included with the figure, or sculpted-on? I wish more resin figures would come with uniform patches.

If you ever do another Vietnam dio, and you decide to use BRAVO-6 figures, there are a number of them that DO include decals to represent different Units, Ranks, Insignia, etc. ARCHER makes several really nice dry-transfer sheets for US, British, German and other nations that feature Units and Ranks, etc. TAMIYA does, too. The name of the manufacturers escape me at the moment, but there are several decal sheets from different aftermarket manufacturers that make really nice ones!

The patch is sculpted. No decals...

Taesung, it looks like you hit the "nail right on the head" with your latest offering. Some good looking figures for my next Sherman. Since a lot of folks are posting their wishes I'm going to post mine. I have Trumpeter's 1/16th T34 and no Russian tank crewman to pose for scale with it. How about one of those for your next large scale sculpt ? Original plan was to place the German MG Team, #16020 & 16023 with it. Open up the engine hatches to give the impression of a mechanical problem and a abandoned tank. Just my selfish request...... Thanks for all the great work you do ! Tom

Tom, I do have a 1/16 WW2 Russian Tank Officer (#16002)

Hi, Tom! Re: Your "quote" at the bottom left of your Page- THAT sounds like MY BENCHES! (Yes, that's plural- I'm lucky in that I have 4 work-benches... PS- There is NOTHING WRONG with building "wing-things"!!! Besides my 1/35 stuff, I build 1/48 Military and Civilian Aircraft, 1/48-120mm Figures, 1/24-1/25 Classic Cars and Modifieds, HO Steam Locomotives and Trains, and the occasional 1/350 Ship. Also, there's my one 1/144 REVELL Fletcher-Class DD...

Morning Dennis, It's good to be diversified. It keeps your skill set well rounded. 4 work benches, WOW! I've just the one or maybe 1.5 benches (an old microwave cart for the spray booth). The figures have changed a bit and so has the wing thing. I have added a ship to the mix, Trumpeter's 1/700, HMS Barham, my family's last name. ANYWAY, a bit off subject......SORRY! Taesung, I did look at #16002. Looks too much officer like. What I'm hunting for is a tanker in coveralls, padded helmet. I've also thought about turning it into a Beute T-34 and place a German tanker in the scene. But, thank you very much for the suggestion AND all the great figures you've released ! Tom
