    Arriving in Young's traditional sturdy black cardboard box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam and placing the smaller parts in a sealed zip-lok bag to ensure against loss. The bottom photo shows the parts out of the box and bag and ready for inspection.

    Above are the four sides of the German helmet plus a photo of the inside showing the locater lug to position the helmet correctly onto the head. There are some casting blocks that need to be carefully removed.

    A review on Young's works always ends with "High recommended". Shall we try to be more vivid this time? How about "must have"?

    Young's German line has got me dropping my seventh jaw now. Military modelling doesn't get better than this.

    Excellent review Guy. Sang Eon Lee has done a great job on the lenses, I thought that they were transparencies.

    I wish that the goggles were left as a separate part, much easier to hollow out and fill with clear plastic or epoxy.

    Every time I try to get out of painting busts Young pulls me back in. Outstanding work once again by Young.

    The workmanship is phenomenal, a very fine bust but WW2 Germans are a very well, maybe to well, covered in this hobby.
