1/35 German Infantry Late WWII

This set includes components for the German infantry troops of the late WWII period. The small arms have been updated. German Wehrmacht soldier uniforms during WWII are separated into the early (1939~1940), middle (1941~1942) and late (1943~1945) period. Late-WWII uniform (M43) featured simplified details such as materials and pockets compared to earlier M36 and M40 uniforms. Efficiently produced and made for actual combat, items such as leggings and ankle boots were used in place of leather jackboots. Camouflage ponchos and helmet covers were used. Newly molded components have realistic renderings of accessories such as Mauser G43, MP44 rifle and Panzerfaust.

The grenade can be attached to right hand of sharpshooter instead of anti-tank mine. A realistically recreated poncho features ergonomic parts breakdown which allows ease of assembly.
