1/32 "Modern" German Infantry (1976)

[Jeff Mack]

I was going through some old stuff of mine from before my Army days, and found this complete box of 1/32 Bundeswehr figures still in the knocked about box! All 29 pieces still there. Thought you would all enjoy seeing them before they go to eStand or eBay. Box is marked Airfix Products LTD 1976, London UK. Even has a nice brief history on the back of the box to incude weapons and patches.

Hope you liked the trip down memory lane, back when the BW's enemy was the Warsaw Pact.

Good ol' Airfix, my childhood would've been much the poorer without them. They look pretty accurate!

Jeff,

Interesting thread. Looks like someone will have hours of fun painting up these miniatures.

Jeff - They do look pretty good; the only thing a little hokey I can see is the "potato masher" hand grenade. I think the BW was employing the DM 41 at this point, which corresponded to the U.S. "lemon" grenade as employed in Vietnam.

The stocks on the MG1 look a little odd as well, just the photo angle?

In any event, I hope these go to place where they'll be appreciated as much as they were on this thread.

Thanks - TJ
