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 various views the separate cast head which fits right down onto the shoulders.

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.

Above are the four sides of the chest portion of the bust showing the detail Ebroin has sculpted into this bust.

Above is the head dry-fitted into the neck/shoulder socket.

The above top two photos show the collar and accessories for the bust. The bottom shows the bust plinth slid up into the socket underneath the bust.

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.

Great review Guy, thank you!

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

Gotta agree on the Christian comment, but a must have for me these are top notch busts from Young.

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.
