    Hello dear Planeters,

    I suppose that many of you know the famous figure of German MG42 gunner Totenkopf, Kharkov 1943 which was sculpted in the 90s by John Rosengrant for KIRIN.
    That figure was released in 1/9 (200mm) scale and now for those who prefer more compact scale, Jeff Shiu released his version of this figure in 1/16 (120mm) scale.

    Jeff’s figure meets today’s highest standards in matter of desing as well as amount and quality of details, so even though it is almost half of the size of its older and bigger brother, it is not worse in any aspect at all.


    Title: 'Holding the line' Kharkov 1943
    Code: JS120048
    Scale: 1/16 (120mm)
    Type: full figure with scenic base
    Material: gray resin
    Number of parts: 23 + base
    Sculptor: Jeff Shiu
    Limited edition: 250 copies

    Figure is packed in sturdy cardboard box typical for Jeff Shiu products, with photo showing complete figure from the front. The second foto showing figure from the back is included inside the box.

    Final conclusion
    Definitely a "must have" for all fans of WWII German figures in this scale.

    Not my usual thing to paint but that is superb and emailed Jeff earlier for a sale. I rather suspect this is a classic in the making that won't be around for too long before they are all gone!

    Hi Gary,
    It is nice to hear from you.
    , but this one, along with other Kharkov Germans from S&T range, should fit perfectly your TAMIYA 1/16 Tiger I tank :)

    Hi Artur. STILL waiting to start the big Tiger and the S&T Kharkov figs. Perhaps in the next lifetime if not this one! :)

    Hope you are well mate.
