WW1 British Tommy "A Close Call"

[lastcav]

This is a really old Kirin kit that I found last week while cleaning up my 'Model Bunker" and I just had to get it on the bench right away! Painted as always with Vallejo and Andrea acrylics. Based on the iconic photograph. 1/16th scale and sculpted by Steve Warrilow.

Title caught my eye. Glad it did. Real nice. Even the face captures what the real photo should be captioned. "Hey Franz... BITE ME!"
