walking wounded, wheelbarrow with MG34, Panzerfaust etc. /set # DF 08/ 1944 Fallschirmjeager Set 1 - Walking wounded supported by medic, Jaegers with Panzerfaust, MG34, 98k /set # DF 10/ |
| Manufacturer | SMSC, UK |
| Packing | plastic bag with paper label |
| Model type | white metal castings + resin wheelbarrow (in set DF-08) |
| Quality | Each of these two sets includes 5 figures of retreating (I guess) German paratroopers. All of them are very well detailed extremely well cast without any problematic flash or sprue marks. Arms with weapons are cast separately and have small connection pin in the shoulders. Therefore small holes have to be drilled into each figure body in connection places. All figure poses are very realistic. Both sets include figures in same poses. The only resin part is the wheelbarrow that is chunky but useful with little work. |
| Instructions | brief text with instructions how to work with white metal kits |
| General impression & Note |
Absolutely superb
figure sets!. Finished figures can perfectly complete models or can be placed on
diorama not only in declared1/76 scale but also in bigger 1/72 because the
soldiers you get are relatively tall. Both of these sets arrived as the result of kit swap with Ian Bower. |
