Conclusion:
An excellent kit depicting a German smiling with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Some removal of casting blocks needs to be done. Highly recommended.

Looks liek a few very small casting boogers to clean up in the helmet mesh, but a very small pick on a bust with such a great expression! Thanks again for the great review Guy!
