This is another one of Richard's. The bust is based on the photo of a member of 3 Commando in training in Scotland, but the figure has been given 4 Commando insignia. That unit took part in the famous raid on the German-held Lofoten Islands in March 1941, which destroyed fish oil storage and processing facilities and did other damage, including the capture of a number of Kriegsmarine code books.
This is a photo of a Cpl John Shaw taken during the raid:
The kit is of the usual Young Miniatures standard:
The insignia is all there and very nicely delineated, so I won't have to paint it by hand, which brings me feelings of joy.
