Hello guys, here I am with a new creation of a German in 1/35 modified by his friend Numitone and that will always be part of his collection.
Also this time we started from a Verlinden that Mariano has improved adding folds and to which he replaced the head and completely carved the roofing net.
Even the sculpture of the setting is still the work of Numitone, to whom I dedicated myself with considerable enthusiasm in painting, as always made entirely of acrylic.
The infantryman is part of the 3rd Panzergrenadier Div. during the Italian campaign and in the fighting after the Allied landing at Anzio.
On the day after the Italian armistice with the Anglo / Americans, on 9 September 1943 the division was reinforced by the armored vehicles of the Büsing kampfgruppe and quickly occupied Umbria and Tuscany before descending to Rome where it contributed to the disarming of the Italian troops in the capital. In that same month he faced the Allies in Salerno, moving the following month on the Bernhardt line and then to Cassino. In November he was busy on the Volturno line. The division began in 1944, clashing in the area of Aprilia against the Allies landed at Anzio, this time first framed under the LXXVI Panzerkorps (January / February), then under the I Fallschirmkorps (March). In May, after the Allied breakthrough in Montecassino, he began to withdraw north of Rome. On 23 August, after returning to the XIV Panzerkorps in July, the unit moved to Lorraine, between the Meuse and Moselle rivers.
