Responsibility details are not available.
A separate resin figure in 1:35 with an MG-42 machine gun as part of the equipment. Take the Waffen-SS marking as a statement about the type of uniform, that is about the cut of the clothing and the camouflage pattern you will be painting. The Anorakanzug is a winter suit of anorak cut with a loose blouse and trousers, on period examples with a reversible treatment where one side is white and the other camouflaged. The figure is an add-on for a scene or for a finished vehicle model.
The pattern and the use
The figure makes a natural counterpart to the ammunition carrier figure from the same line, and the two can be stood in one group. On castings of this type the weapon tends to be a separate part, which makes it easier to paint the metal items apart from the clothing; judge the exact breakdown by the illustration on the packaging.
Wash the casting in lukewarm water with dish soap to remove the mold release agent. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw and level the faces with a file and sandpaper wet and with your breathing protected. Look over the mold parting lines against the light and remove any flash with a scalpel. Treat the thin parts of the weapon, for example the barrel and the bipod, especially carefully, as resin is brittle in small cross sections. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue and fill the gaps.
Start the painting with a primer. Build the white side of the suit on a light gray base and leave pure white for the crests of the folds. Paint the camouflaged surface in three steps: the base, larger blotches, fine drawing with a thin brush, and finally a unifying filter. Build the metal parts of the weapon on a very dark base and dose the metallic sheen sparingly, only on the edges and the surfaces a hand touches. Build the wood of the stock on an ocher base and create the grain with a glaze. Paint the skin separately. Bring the whole together with a matte clear coat and dust the lower part of the figure with pigment to match the base of the diorama.
The figure is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
