1/32 IJA Ground Crew with 40mm Ammo http://www.hlj.com/product/WLFWPD32008)

Wolfpack Design from Korea, couple of their most resent releases have been design for Hasegawa's 1/32 release of the Ki-44II Otsu Shoki with the 40mm Ho-301 cannon. This release of the IJA Ground Crew contains one resin figure in a crouching pose loading the cannons in the wing.

The figure has been broken down into 6 components and is casted in a light gray resin. The sculpt of the figure has been nicely done by Gu Hee Jung, the sculptor. He has managed to capture a lifelike pose and action of the crew man loading rounds into the cannon for the aircrafts next mission. The figure is holding a 40mm round in his hand that could be easily converted into a screwdriver if required if you wish to pose the figure with another Japanese warbird. 

The figure comes with an A5 colour instruction sheet  with painting callouts and assembly. The IJA Ground Crew is a nice addition to the large scale range and I am sure that many modelers' will pick up this inexpensive figure.

I would Like to thank HobbyLink Japan (www.hlj.com) for this review sample.
