The Tamiya 1/35 WWII German Machine Gunner & Luftwaffe Ace Pilot set offers a detailed glimpse into the uniforms and equipment of World War II soldiers. These figures are a scaled-down version of Tamiya's popular 1/16 scale figures, capturing intricate details that appeal to serious collectors and model enthusiasts alike.
This figure represents a German machine gunner equipped with the formidable MG42, known for its rapid rate of fire at 1,200 rounds per minute. The soldier is depicted in a late-WWII greatcoat, featuring a large collar designed for cold protection, reflecting the practical adjustments made during the war. This coat, initially made from wool, incorporated more rayon as material shortages arose. The sculpting captures the nuances of the uniform, including separate collar and cuff pieces that enhance its realism.
The Luftwaffe Ace Pilot figure is dressed in the characteristic blue-gray uniform worn during the Battle of Britain. Known for their personal flair, pilots often added leather jumpers or colorful scarves to their attire. This figure can be assembled with or without a cap, offering customization options for display. The arms positioned behind the back give the figure a natural and dynamic pose, reminiscent of the confident stance of a seasoned pilot.
