A very compelling figure - wonderful pose and chock full of character ! Not really my period until now - it's tremendous.

 

[chailey]

A suitably arrogant pose, I like it!

What is around his left biceps/ triceps, please? Not seen this before. Nicely executed pose, too.

Not entirely sure but I think they are flare gun rounds

Seen this today in the flesh at Perth.
Really nice wee figure.

Will this be the blue field blouse? (Fliegerbluse) with matching trousers.

 

[PanzerIV]

Great figure with a unique pose. Another one to add to the list...

In the original preliminary post it mentioned an unusual cut down specially tailored jump smock (the photo illustrating this now
seems to have disappeared though). In which case it would have been the appropriate splinter pattern camouflage - would it not ?

Saw this in the flesh at the Perth show , an excellent sculpt with suitable arrogant pose. Not my normal period of interest but I would definitely paint this one. Cheers David

Hi Mike,
Actually it could be a cut-down smock in mottled green , in splinter pattern or water pattern - the Fallschirmjäger used what was available.
Here's a modified mottled green smock (with added loops for flare gun cartridges):

and here's Oberfeldwebel Egon Danzer of 3./FJR 3 in Italy in a cut-down splinter pattern smock:


Cheers

[fogie]

[Gellso]

Cheers for that Moz,
