The winter version of the equipment of German paratroopers: 1:32 German WWII Paratroopers in Winter Uniforms. A set of plastic figures from MARS Model, supplied without paint.
Responsibility details are not available.
The counterpart to the tropical variant from the same brand: Fallschirmjäger equipped for the cold. MARS Model is a Ukrainian brand devoted exclusively to figures, and it supplies this set in plastic, in 1:32 scale and entirely without paint.
From the winter of 1943 on, German paratroopers appeared above all in a ground role, in which the defense of difficult terrain rested on them. The winter campaigns, whether in the Italian mountains or later in the Ardennes, called for layered equipment: quilted coats and trousers, capes, gloves, hoods and improvised white camouflage. The silhouette of the soldier changes markedly with it - the figure is bulkier, the movement more ponderous, the outlines softer. For a modeler that is rewarding precisely because winter figures look quite different from the same units in summer dress.
White is never painted pure white. Use a broken tone with a gray or beige cast and let a darker base show through underneath, so that the cloth does not come across like paper. Wash the castings and clean up the seams. Before gluing, test the glue on a sprue offcut; super glue tends to be the safer bet. Finish the snow in the terrain and on the equipment only after the rest of the work, otherwise you will clog up all the detail.
The goods are unpainted. To finish them you will need paints and glue of your own.
