1940-41 German Infantry (Zvezda)

Another infantry battalion to add to my German collection for this era

Command section is Airfix, the two machinegun platoons are Revell, and the mortar platoon is a Zvezda/Pegasus combination

All of the rifle and support weapon platoons are Zvezda.

First Company

Second

Third

Battalion.

I added token white piping to the collars and shoulder boards where possible. 

This could be the best set of German infantry figures (for this era) in 1/72 ever produced.

My only gripe would be the odd grenade shoved down the boot.... ouch!

NITTO Stug IIIg

Been working on this all week

Did I say Fujimi? I meant NITTO - thanks lads :)

I made it up as un-buttoned. I have another of these, so this will represent the command platoon 

Crew figures from the spares box

This is quite a detailed little kit for its age, well engineered

Pictured beside a Stug IIIb by Dragon

Basically the same assault gun, slightly improved, only a couple of hundred were manufactured before it was again improved, eventually becoming the very successful Stug IIIg.

1943-45 Fallscrimjager (Italeri)

This is the second battalion of my work in progress later-war regiment, again I had to use a few metals to make up the numbers

The Italeri figures are quite large and don't mix too well with others, nice figures though

Some para units had recoilless infantry guns, which I don't have any of, so here is the gun platoon beside a HaT model. I think RAFM do a 105 in 20mm

I might have just enough figures left over for the rifle platoons in the (planned) third battalion, but may have to go with metals again for the machinegun platoons, as shown above.

1943-45 Fallscrimjager (Caesar)

Here is one of my recently completed later-war German parachute infantry battalions

The support company still needs a gun crew stand

I had to use a few metal figures to make up the numbers

Unfortunately, there is a huge difference in the size of figures, the smallest being Airfix, medium being Caesar, and large Italeri

The Caesar figures are good but not quite a nice as the Italeri set in terms of detail

Nowhere near enough figures left to complete a regiment but quite a good start :)

Airfix Fallschirmjager (mostly)

Been on and off this project for almost a year but my early war German parachute regiment is now more or less finished

1st Battalion

2nd

3rd - needs a mortar platoon

The beginnings of a machine gun battalion

Regimental assest

Company command platoons

About every 3rd or 4th figure was altered in some way and I added weapon slings where I could

The powerful engineer flamethrower platoon

The regiment is for 1939-42. I still need a handful of stands to fully complete it but I've run out of mortars, machine guns and command figures :)

Bone Yard Panthers

They only needed some new road wheels, I think these might be Mathbox?

Still rough but perfectly functional

All five of my Panthers

Just one short of two full companies in CD3 terms.
