Dragon changing direction
6574 - German Warriors 1940-41
Despite what war movies might purport to show, the majority of a soldier’s time is not spent in frontline combat. Dragon’s latest 1/35 scale figure set is thus an accurate portrayal of a war scene, for it shows German soldiers performing various mundane but nevertheless essential activities. Buckling up a belt, adjusting a chin strap, taking off a tunic or putting on personal gear are pretty ordinary events, but these are exactly the kind of things these five figures are doing. While perhaps not as dramatic as firing a weapon or performing a bayonet charge, these kinds of actions are certain to lend an air of authenticity to a modeler’s dioram a.
The German figures represent the early-war period, suitable for any European theater in 1940-41. Each figure is masterfully molded and anatomically accurate. The faces are carefully scuplted, as are their everyday actions. They wear a variety of uniforms, including three Wehrmacht soldiers dressed in typical M1935 field gray tunics, trousers and leather boots. Meanwhile, one figure is kitted out as a Panzer crewman, while the final one would suit a Sturmartillerie unit. Modelers are always clamoring for more figures to populate their dioramas and vignettes, and they don’t come any more practical thanthis ! With its credible and lifelike poses, this set will find multiple uses in many dioramas to come.

Armor
This is an example of a WW 2 Troop panzered transporter.
I assempled this kit and enjoyed weathering it with tealeaves mixed with red/brown/vanilla paint to similate rust and mud! The figures are relaxed and busy cleaning rifles or reading old newspapers!
