1:35 Totenkopf Division (Kharkov 1943)

Dragon 1:35 Totenkopf Division (Kharkov 1943), Panzergrenadier figures

A set of four unassembled plastic figures in 1:35 scale from Dragon, the Gen2 line. It captures Panzergrenadiers in combat poses suited to a diorama. Detailed weapons with hollowed-out muzzles, separate parts and photo-etched accessories are included.

The real subject

The set refers to the fighting for Kharkov in the spring of 1943 on the Eastern Front, in which the Totenkopf division, one of the Waffen-SS divisions, took part. The scene is treated factually, as a historical reconstruction of period uniforms and equipment, without any evaluative undertone.

Building and painting tips

Assemble the figures according to the instructions and use thin modeling cement on the plastic. Clean up the seams after assembly and fill the surface. Paint with acrylic or enamel paints; we recommend shading and highlights for the modeling of the faces and the folds of the uniforms, and washes will bring the recesses to life. Glue any photo-etched parts with super glue. The set also contains photo-etched parts for the fine details.

• Builders of dioramas with Panzergrenadiers
