Scale 1/16

EK35-F008 - MG 42 SS Schütze, 1944

Scale 1/72

Ready to assemble resin and metal kit. The set includes scenic base.

The figure represents a Waffen SS MG 42 gunner sporting a reversible winter suit. Small buttons were sewn to the sleeve of the white side to fix colored armbands for recognition of friendly troops when both sides were using white suits. White side was used as snow camouflage. The reverse side could be field grey or in different camouflage patterns:
EICHENLAUBMUSTER (OAK LEAF), spring or autumn.
SPLITTERTARNMUSTER (SPLINTER).
SUMPFMUSTER (SWAMP).
ERBSENMUSTER (PEA DOT).

ONLY FOR 1/16 AND 1/35 SCALE:
Note that 2 choices of arms and bipods are included.

I like the fact that they are offering this in many different scales. The many different scale release for figures is something I wish more manufacturers would begin to do with future releases.

Yeah -- cover all the bases, once the hard bits done -and the molds are made , they can pump out more, of what evers sizes are selling best.--------------- Also, While on the subject of Figures ,Im wondering if yous fine people that are reading this can help me ? --- I cant remember who makes the 1:35 WW2 German figure , thats designed & molded from a famous WW2 photo, of a German driver sort of leaning and standing on the front of a Simca-5 staff car , with one foot on the front bumper (the other on the ground ) and he's smoking a cigarette ---- does anyone remember who makes this figure please ? Cheers in advance ☺

Wow! What a fantastic figure! Here's one that I might just break down and buy the 1/35th as well as the 1/16th!

A little static for my tastes, but the details look awesome if they are available in 1/35th.
