Early war assault pioneers

Based on the excellent Revell German Engineers set

One or two figures have had arms swapped and heads twisted but otherwise are standard figures

Painted in early war colours as most of the pictures I found showed them uniformed in this way

Unlike other German infantry units of this era they have no machine gun or weapons platoons, yet still possess formidable anti-tank capability, which sort of makes up for their lack of use against infantry

I did these whilst waiting for trucks to arrive
