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.
I have seen it said, several times on the web, that Verlinden has gone out of business.

THE KIT:
This kit comes in a blousy, end-opening type box that is camouflaged.
I am no fan of this type of box, because invariably parts or the decal sheet will find their way past one of the end-flaps of the box to become lost forever. Give me a tray and lid type box any day of the week.
The kit has a color photo as the cover art. It shows the figure made up.
He is wearing a field-grey uniform, with a steel helmet that is covered with a net. He has a white apron and arm band that have red crosses on them. He is carrying a brown leather medical case in his left hand, that has a white circle with a red cross on it.
