Mars – 72106 – German elite division, Normandy 1944-45

Description:

German elite division, Normandy 1944-45

Unpainted plastic soldiers in 1/72 scale depicting German “elite” infantry in the late war, 1944-45 and west europe theatre. Term “elite” can refer to both SS or Panzergrenadiers units.

Box contains 40 figures in 8 different poses, a four equal sprues format, common in the brand. Figures are downscaled version of the 1/32 original sculpts. This process to downscale commonly cause lot of detail to just disappear, all what was subtle detail in 1/32 is gone if you downscale to 1/72 the same sculpt. In a subject with so many competitors, this set doesn’t highlight by anything, and the mould faults worsen a not very good sculpture (or downscale process).
