Zetor 25 Tractor Driver & Village Boy (F72382)

1:72 CMK by Special Hobby

 

 

This delightful little figure set is intended for use with Special Hobby’s own resin Zetor 25 tractor that we have reviewed recently.  As usual with CMK's resin sets, it arrives in the familiar clear vacformed box, with the resin parts safely inside, and the instructions sandwiched between the header card at the rear. 

 

 

Inside are two resin casting blocks, each one containing a figure.  The driver is sculpted in the seated position, with a separate right arm for detail’s sake, and a thin film of flash running vertically down from his face to his vest to improve moulding reliability.  That’s the work of moments to brush away with the side of a blade or even a cocktail stick.  The other mounting points are where he sits and against the back of his legs, with excellent sculpting by M. Antfeist of his trousers, jacket and cap.  The boy is standing with his legs slightly apart, looking up at the driver perhaps, wearing some baggy pants that are held up by a pair of braces over his shirt.  There is a little flash between his legs to facilitate casting, but again that should be easy to remove.  After a wash in warm soapy water to remove the last of the mould release, you can paint them any colours you like, but the instructions show a typical example if you’re stuck for ideas.

 

Highly recommended.
