Why this kit matters
The German Afrika Korps and panzer units operating in tropical climates wore distinct gear suited for desert conditions; this figure set captures that theatre-specific look, giving modellers the opportunity to depict a less commonly modelled scenario.
Adding human figures to a vehicle model significantly enhances narrative and realism on display; by modelling the crew already prepped for tropical operations, you boost the story your model tells. The 1/35 scale remains a favourite for military modellers due to the balance of size, detail and availability of complementary kits.
How to use it
Trim the parts from the sprues, clean any mould-lines, and assemble using plastic model cement. Once assembled, paint each figure using suitable acrylic or enamel paints (not included). Paint details like tropical uniforms and headgear carefully to highlight the setting. After drying, place the figures alongside your vehicle model or within a diorama. Display your finished scene proudly in your collection cabinet or on a shelf.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
