1/16 Trumpeter Soviet Officer

Gallery Article by Timothy H. Zarco on Sept 3 2009

 

Just wanted to share a mini project that I worked on in-between aircraft projects. I was curious about the quality of Trumpeter figures since these remains the widespread belief that they are generally inferior to their ship, aircraft and armor offerings. The only way to find out is to actually build one of their kits.

I was pleasantly surprised with the relatively high quality of this kit. The molding, proportion and accuracy were all on the mark, however the pose seemed a little off. I painted this figure entirely with Tamiya enamels since I'm still adjusting to Vallejo acrylics. 

Thank you to IPMS Manila for the support that they gave in the completion of this project. I would also like to thank those who gave kind remarks on www.manilatonight.com. Cheers!
