The kit comes in a clear zip-locked bag inside a plastic box with a locking tab. The figure is bending over on a diorama base that has cactus on it (base not included).
The soldier is dressed in a light tan uniform. He is wearing a steel helmet. His hands are on his knees.
The box art says he was sculpted and painted by Radek Pituch.
The kit contains 3 light gray resin parts: his body, 2 alternate heads (one wearing a bare steel helmet and the other a tam), there is a tiny brass PE fret in a zip locked bag that appears to have insignia badges on it.

However, there are no instructions in the kit as to what these are or where they get applied to the figure. There are 12 badges on the fret with 4 sets of 3 of different design. No badges are evident on the box art photo of the finished figure.
Only the heads need a pour lug removed to get them ready to paint.
The back of the box says "Highly detailed 1/35th Scale miniature. Warning! This product is not a toy. Not suitable for children under 14 years of age. Copyright Rado Miniatioures, Made in Poland.
The sculpting and detail are superb.
Highly recommended.
I want to sincerely thank High Calibre Miniatures for this review sample. They sent it and some other Rado samples in a very sturdy box with locking flap. These other Rado kits will appear soon in reviews here.
