Model Forum / General / Models / April 2004What Makes this figure a German Artillery Officer?
http://www.militaryhobbies.com/product.cfm?ProductID=5643 what makes this something other than a noncom pointing at something? Craig (a) Collar and epaulet trim in artillery branch color (b) the fact that the original was part of the 8.8 cm Flak 36/37 kit in 1/35 scale and they just pantographed him up...

So just how much do you reckon Tamiya is charging for the glue? WmB To reply, get the HECK out of there HELLinhock@earthlink.net > > (a) Collar and epaulet trim in artillery branch color > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > $15? So just how much do you reckon Tamiya is charging for the glue? best price I've seen for this series is 11.99 at modelexpo, but when militaryhobbies has free shipping with a $50 order it all works out to be about the same..... (and I always get more than $50) Craig << what makes this something other than a noncom pointing at something? >><BR><BR> The illustration doesn't really show it, but the piping around the collar and shoulder straps would be red, indicating a member of the artillery branch. Paint the piping white and he's an infantryman. The figure is simply a larger version of a 1/35th scale figure released in 1973. He was the gun commander for the Tamiya 88mm Flak kit, hence their description of him as an artilleryman. Gerald Owens It's very clear. He's partially deaf. Andy Eh? Could ya speak up a bit... RobG > It's very clear. He's partially deaf. > > Andy Also, he's wearing an officer's pattern waistbelt with his Walther P.38 and map case.
