DELTA FORCE SGT. FIRST CLASS SANDERSON BY ART FIGURES

The figure is obviously based from the character of Sgt. First Class Jeff Sanderson from the blockbuster movie Black Hawk Down. SFC Sanderson is played by actor William Fichtner. Sgt Sanderson is a member of the elite delta force, task to secure and extract vital personnel of the war lord Mohammed Farrah Aidid. He is a courageous soldier and always leads his men by example. Sgt. Sanderson’s character is based from a real soldier, SFC Paul Howe. Let’s check him out.
The box is nice and sturdy with magnets on the flop to secure the cover. And on the inside the figure is secured in a foam tray. A simple but collector friendly box.

Sgt. Sanderson out of the box. He is using the older three color dessert pattern uniform, the standard uniform at that time. Also provided are body armour, knee pads and boots.

Well made and detailed tactical vest and other accessories.

Closer look at his butt pack, water canteen and thigh holster.

Not an exact look alike of William Fichtner but the sculpt is nice and may represent other operator.

For his primary weapon the Sgt. Uses a Colt M727 carbine. A M1911A1 as his secondary and he also carry a Remington 870 shotgun for breaching doors.
The M1911A1 is an iconic weapon. It was designed by John Browning in 1904 and is still used today. It uses .45 ACP cartridges in a single stack seven round magazine.

The Remington mode 870 pump action shotgun. It is commonly used as a breaching weapon.

Delta Operators prefer shorter barrel weapons like this Colt Model 727 carbine. Other operators are seen using Colt M4’s and CAR-15’s.

Closer look at his Colt Model 727.
It is fitted with Aimpoint red dot scope and Surefire tactical light.
