History
During the initial phase of the Second World War, German infantry were equipped with a practical and distinctive uniform that became easily recognisable across European battlefields. The standard kit included a versatile field jacket, adaptable to various climates and combat scenarios, paired with trousers tucked into black leather jackboots for protection and support during extended marches. The helmet, with its unique silhouette, provided essential head protection and became one of the era's most iconic military items. This uniform exemplified the German military's approach at the time, balancing functionality with the need to rapidly equip a vast number of soldiers as the conflict spread across multiple fronts.
This Vintage Classics edition honours Airfix's long-standing tradition in figure modelling, maintaining the original moulds and artwork that have been cherished by collectors and modellers for decades. The 1969 mould tools reflect a golden age of figure production, while William Stallion's 1976 packaging illustration captures the period's drama and authenticity with enduring artistic skill.
