Gebirgsjäger Alpini Tedeschi, 1939–1945

Recensione dei Figurini Airfix in Scala 1:76

Airfix German Gebirgsjäger mountain troops wearing a mixture of field gray uniforms e Sumpfmuster tan aqueous camouflage smocks. The soldatini represent a rifle platoon based on 50 x 38 mm fanteria stands compatibile con the Crossfire game system. The single figure is the platoon commander. Additional fanteria stands may be added to account for the fact that units della fanteria d’élite typically showed greater initiative at the platoon e section level. This is particularly true of German fanteria sections which were trained to fight in due gruppi, un gruppo mitragliatrice of cinque men ed un gruppo fucilieri of seven to nine men. In game terms, these groups may be deployed on individual section-sized fanteria stands.

Valutazione

Good choice of subject, the Airfix Gebirgsjäger offer many interesting poses for dioramas e small vignettes featuring mountain troops. Interestingly, the Airfix figure set is unique in this scale, none of the other major manufacturers have released German mountain troops.
Excellent poses suitable for dioramas. The soldatini are anatomically correct e they are accurately posed to represent mountain troops fighting e mountaineering. Giocatori Wargame may have to convert some of the poses to draft them into wargame units.
The bicyclist is a nice figure which may be used as a messenger o recce trooper del battaglione reconnaissance della Radfahr-Abteilung 54 o Radfahr-Abteilung 95. As the war progressed, bicycles increasingly replaced horses in reggimenti di cavalleria e battaglioni reconnaissance della fanteria.
Compatibile con Fujimi, Matchbox, Milicast, Cromwell Models, Ostmodels, MMS, e Vac-U-Cast.

Several poses are only suitable for dioramas. Giocatori Wargame may want to convert them to gunners o engineers. Using the new Pattex Blitz Plastik flüssig adhesive for Polyethylene soldatini, it will be possible to place rifles into the hands of those soldatini.

Conversioni Possibili

Soldatini wearing summer uniform may be painted as late war German fanteria con soft caps o elmetti.
The Gebirgsmütze soft cap was not worn in combat, it should be replaced by un elmetto d’acciaio tedesco.

Airfix German Gebirgsjäger mountain troops were released in 1977, e they are still among the most popular figure sets of German fanteria. Giocatori Wargame need a box o due of these troops to recruit Gebirgsjäger units which served on many fronts throughout the war. The soldatini may be mixed con Airfix Afrikakorps troops o other late war German fanteria to increase the variety of poses in a platoon.
