THE KIT:
About Verlinden Productions:
Verlinden Productions is the epitome of aftermarket military kits and resin figures which brought thousands of military miniatures and related products to the market. The company is the brainchild of Belgian modeler Francois Verlinden, a Belgium-born entrepreneur, author of many books, photographer and military miniature artist who founded Verlinden Productions in the early 1980s.
Verlinden Productions is the granddaddy of the aftermarket parts and resin figure manufacturers. Verlinden has influenced legions of modelers, and will forever be one of the most significant figures in 1/35 scale modeling. Verlinden's outstanding eye for detail and superior quality puts him in the top echelon of his craft. The resin quality is considered as one of the best in the world.
This Kit comes in a blousy, shrink-wrapped, ray and lid type box.
It contains a zip-locked clear cello bag, that holds a wounded G.I., that is laying on a canvas tarp. He is bare headed and bare chested, with a chest wound and his left leg in a splint. He wears khaki trousers and low shoes.
The medic is kneeling beside him. (Divided into separate head, body and arms). He also is dressed in a khaki uniform, with a steel helmet and field gear on his belt. He is offering a canteen to the wounded G.I.

The detail is excellent and the model is practically a diorama in a box. The kit will add a lot to any diorama.
