WWII Rommel & Staff Deutsches Afrikakorps North Africa 1942 Dragon 1/35

It is a figure set of Marshal Rommel and his staff. At first glance, the picture of the gray figure on the back of the box looks precise, but I think this is CG. The actual kit does not have a very sharp mold.

I think the mold is a little bit loose. If it’s an old injection figure kit, I can’t help it. Isn’t the No.6723 so old?

The officer is taking notes with a file in his hand. The parts of the notepad looked just like a small plastic band, so I made a cut with a design knife and turned the paper up a little.

There are two generals wearing coats, including Marshal Rommel. When I assembled this type of figure for the first time, I was surprised at the parts. This kind of thing is surprisingly fun to assemble.

The figures this time have almost no weapons. It is a kit that looks at a map, sees binoculars, and makes plans at the site.

Equipment parts are included. Of these, only a few, such as pistols in holsters, were used. I don’t think it’s Gen2, so the mold is reasonable.

I’m unsure if the Rommel in this injection head is similar. There are some spare Alpine heads, so I think I’ll change to a figure that looks a little like General Rommel with a cap. If it is easy to paint, it doesn’t have to look like General Rommel.

It can’t be helped because it’s not the face of Marshal Rommel, but it doesn’t look like it in the end. He wears his trademark leather coat and borderless goggles, but I can’t help it.

These are the parts of General Rommel.

I tried to change the figure set to a resin head, but changing it just because the cap was on was not easy. It is difficult to add a design because the design is slightly different in the Waffen SS, even though it is a national defense force. It would be easy if there were a decal, but since there are no decals available. I guess I have to write by hand.

I wasn’t sure about the coat’s color, so I painted with my favorite color by mixing a slight brown color of Vallejo.

I think dessert yellow would be suitable for the uniform. I think this color of Vallejo is a little reddish. It feels strange, but I may be able to adjust it a little with weathering. A little more color fading would make it look like they’re struggling in the desert.

Too detailed class badge, this used decals. If you look at it this way, it looks like the brain center of the Deutsches Afrikakorps. A man who seems to be Marshal Rommel has the rank badge of Marshal, the General is spreading the map, the Major General is looking at the memo, and the Colonel is holding binoculars.

They are the leaders of the Deutsches Afrikakorps. It is a court in the burning African continent, but it seems rather cold at night in the desert.

The person in the dark coat on the left is the highest rank. In the kit, it seems to be set as Marshal Rommel. I can’t say for sure because I changed the head, but I don’t think the original looks like it.

The color of Marshal Rommel’s hair seemed relatively light, so I painted it a bright blonde.

I haven’t made a figure of generals so much. It is hard to draw details by hand. I wonder if the cap is pretty flashy with lots of gold.

If you look at the map carefully, the pattern is the Mediterranean. And he’s staring at North Africa. I think the scale is too large for a local strategy.

Although it is decorated on a base, it is a little strange if it is lined up evenly.

I wonder if this is a good place among the things I can do.

I stood behind the turret of Tiger I, and it was out of focus. The figure set this time was interesting because there were many uniforms. The main character is not a tank soldier.
