Germans in Normandy 1944 - latest

A change to our pattern making and tooling schedule has meant we will not be able to release our 4th set until mid/late summer 2008. However the wait will be well worth while as this set will contain many exciting figures and pieces of equipment. This set will comprise:

  • 68 figures with 14 separate poses.
  • Various uniform types will include Panzer jackets, smocks and Zeltbahns
  • 60 arm options with 15 different arm styles
  • Weapons include the 120mm mortar, MG15 MMG, Panzerschreck, Panzerfaust, GWER43, MG42, MP40 and Luger pistol
  • Additional equipment includes anti tank mines, bedrolls, entrenching tools/bayonet and various pouches.
  • All components of this set are interchangeable with our previous release Classic German Infantry


 
 



The models will be manufactured in polystyrene allowing figures to be easily painted and glued.  Additional heads, optional arms and equipment (such as backpacks) are also provided for creating a large variety of poses and making simple conversions.

Each box will also contain a leaflet featuring historical information on the figures, details on how to build a miniature infantry battalion, and clear assembly instructions.
