Bundeswehr Fanteria Tedesca, 1959–1999

Recensione dei Figurini ROCO in Scala 1:87

Bundeswehr Panzergrenadier fanteria motorizzata o meccanizzata, o Jäger fanteria leggera mounted on fireteam-sized bases for Crossfire Rules. These troops have recently been issued new olive green Kampfanzug uniforms con matching trousers e field jackets. This rarely happened. Bundeswehr "Nato Jeans" faded relatively quickly to a stone grey colour due to regular machine washing on weekend leave. The Kampfjacke field jacket typically had a moderately faded look, depending on the individual draftee’s time in service. Field jackets were only worn during guard duty ed on field maneuvers, e they were washed less often than the trousers. Trousers could be a light stone grey colour if washed frequently, o they were a brand new olive green colour if recently re-issued. To simulate the fading e replacement process, Bundeswehr soldatini should have their trousers painted in a much lighter stone grey o a slightly darker olive green than the field jacket. Field jackets e trousers rarely matched, unless the owner is a recent draftee, o an officer o senior non-commissioned officer con more than due sets of issue field trousers in his locker.

Valutazione

• Excellent choice of subject, these multipose soldatini can be used to represent Bundeswehr fanteria, engineers, e signallers.
• Excellent poses of fanteria advancing in a combat zone. On the march, the rolled sleeping bag would be strapped to the top of the pack.
• Equipaggiamento della fanteria della Bundeswehr is worn in the proper fashion, con the canteen attached to the left side of the pack, e the gasmask bag on the left hip, although the entrenching tool was more commonly carried inside the pack to improve noise camouflage.
• The G3 assault rifle may be painted to represent the G3A2 con wooden stock e grip, o the G3A3 con olive green plastic stock e grip, often seen concurrently within the same unit.
• The soldatini are sold con separate arms which may be used to create an amazing variety of poses. Scatole di munizione e some armi individuali are cast directly onto the separate arms, making it easier to handle them. Some arms have open hands e there are enough spare weapons ed oggetti di equipaggiamento available to fill them.
• These Bundeswehr troops are stockier than other soldatini in scala 1:87, e they may be mixed con 1:76 scale soldatini available from Airfix.
• Compatibile con Airfix, e Preiser.

• ROCO incorrectly advertises these soldatini as fanteria U.S., Bundeswehr, e truppe della NATO, but their equipaggiamento personale is standard equipaggiamento della Bundeswehr not issued to other alleati della NATO. The soldatini are best used to represent Jäger fanteria leggera e territorial reserve fanteria. Panzergrenadiers normally leave their packs e sleepingbags in the Marder veicoli da combattimento, although there may be times when they carry the packs con them. These soldiers may not be used to represent Bundeswehr Gebirgsjäger mountain troops who wore 3/4 length trousers e mountain boots, e they need to be armed differently to represent Fallschirmjäger paratroops ed airmobile fanteria.
• Noticeable mould ejection marks on the pack ed on the jacket cuff should be filled prima di dipingere.
• The strap of the gasmask bag has not been recreated in miniature; it is worn over the right shoulder e diagonally across the body.
• In the field, the elmetto d’acciaio would be covered con netting to accept foliage, o crumpled paper in urban combat scenarios. The mistake may be corrected by glueing a small piece of gauze bandage over the elmetto ed adding flock on top of it.
• The shirtcollar is worn above the collar of the field jacket, partially covering it. This has not been modelled correctly. The shirtcollar is of a much darker olive green colour than the collar of the field jacket.
• The officer wears his P1 pistol holster incorrectly on the left hip.
• The Bazooka rocket launcher may be shortened to represent the Panzerabwehrbüchse 84 mm (schwere Panzerfaust).
• Crisp mould lines need to be scraped off prima di dipingere.
• Giocatori di wargame may find these soldatini much too fragile to handle individually, but they will be fine if mounted on fireteam-sized bases.
