FirstLook
Ultracast has released two new Commonwealth armour crew figures.
The quality of these sets
maintain the remarkable standards set by their earlier
releases. Casting is flawless, and sculpting is attractive and realistic.
In common with their
earlier releases, casting blocks are kept to an absolute
minimum. Each set is brokwn down into four resin parts.

Canadian / British Tank Crewman All Theatres - Summer 1939-1945
This
full single figure is dressed casually in trousers with braces pulled to the side and undershirt with long sleeves rolled up to the elbow.
The pose is casual and very natural.
A colour photo is
included to assist painting and finishing.
Although the
heading states British or Canadian, this figure (and the one reviewed below) would be
equally appropriate depicting New Zealand or South
African armoured troops.

Canadian/British Tank Crewman All Theatres - Summer 1939-1945
This figure is dressed similarly to the first, but is lighting a cigarette
.
Once again a colour
photo is included to assist painting and finishing.

Conclusion
Ultracast have made a
welcome contribution to populating the 1/35 scale British
and Commonwealth figure world over the last ten years.
These two new releases are
versatile additions to Ultracast's ever-growing range,
especially considering the relative explosion of
British-related armour subjects recently available in 1/35
scale.
Highly Recommended.
