Fanti da Marina Tedeschi, 1871–1918

Recensione dei Figurini Copplestone Castings in Scala 1:56

Copplestone Castings produce fanti da marina imperiale tedeschi in tropical uniform, armed con the Mauser M/71 Kaliber 11 mm bolt-action rifle which was upgraded to the M/71.84 repeating rifle con 8-round tubular magazine in 1884. The Mauser M/71 e M/71.84 saw combat in the African colonial wars until the Great War, although the fanti da marina tedeschi are likely to have replaced their M/71 rifles con the Mauser Gewehr 98 which became available before la prima guerra mondiale. As was typical of German Marines ed other elite formations, these soldiers march e fight con their tunics e collars perfectly buttoned, regardless of weather conditions. Seebataillon officers e NCOs saw to it that their men did not adopt the more practical campaign dress of the Schutztruppe, ed i fanti da marina suffered many caduti from heatstroke as a result.

Contenuto

Valutazione

Excellent choice of subject, Imperial German Seebataillon Marines served in several colonial campaigns in China ed Africa.

Suitable wargame poses. These marines are advancing in skeleton equipaggiamento without backpacks, e there are 10 randomely selected variants of the advancing pose in each box. There is minimal flash, but tiny mould lines along the side of the elmo ed across the back of the uniform ought to be scraped off prima di dipingere.

The imperial eagle badge e national cockade on the elmo pith are well detailed ed easy to paint. A khaki cover for the elmo pith was issued, but not always worn. The soldatini do not show NCO chevrons o piping which will have to be painted on to indicate rank.

The model of the Mauser M/71 rifle is 23.5 mm long, o 1:62 scale, compared to the actual 1448 mm length of the original Mauser M/71 e M/71.84 bolt-action rifle. The later Mauser Gewehr 98 bolt-action rifle is noticeably shorter, only 1250 mm long, e the bolt lever does not stand out sideways like that of the Mauser M/71.

Compatible con Pulp soldatini, Reviresco, Sloppy Jalopy, ed other 1:56 scale miniatures.

I fanti da marina imperiale tedeschi produced by Copplestone Castings are must-have for giocatori wargame interested in the Rivolta dei Boxer, Herero Uprising e many other colonial campaigns which involved one of the tre battaglioni di fanteria da marina tedesca.
