Tamiya 35382 - 1/35 German Infantry Set (Late-WWII)  [35382]

Capturing History: Tamiya's Late-WWII German Infantry Set

The Tamiya 35382 1/35 German Infantry Set offers model enthusiasts an opportunity to bring historical accuracy to their dioramas and military collections. This set meticulously recreates the look of German infantry troops during the late stages of World War II, a period marked by significant changes in military attire and equipment.

Historical Context and Realism

During the late WWII era, German Wehrmacht uniforms evolved to meet the demands of prolonged conflict. The M43 uniform, characterized by its simplified design and practical features, replaced earlier models. It included more efficient leggings and ankle boots instead of the traditional leather jackboots. This set accurately reflects these changes, providing modelers with figures clad in historically accurate attire.

Detailed Figures and Accessories

This assembly kit includes five figures, each posed to reflect realistic battlefield scenarios. The set features a non-commissioned officer signaling to his troops, a vigilant rifleman, a soldier with an anti-tank mine, a grenadier equipped with a Panzerfaust and MP44 rifle, and a soldier in a poncho setting up a Mauser G43. Newly molded accessories like the Mauser G43, MP44 rifle, and Panzerfaust add to the authenticity, making this set a valuable addition to any WWII military collection.

Assembly and Display Value

Designed for ease of assembly, the ergonomic breakdown of parts ensures a smooth building experience. The inclusion of insignia uniform decals further enhances the realism of each figure. Modelers can also integrate this set with other kits, such as the Tamiya 35381 1/35 German Panzer IV/70(A), to create comprehensive scenes depicting late-WWII military operations.
