Infantry Figures on the Move
Posted by Tojo72 on Friday, August 19, 2011 6:51 AM

Is anyone familiar with any figure kits that show early war German Infantry on the move ? I want to depict them in a small vignette marching alongside a Panzer II in France.

There are a few fiures that are running in one of Tamiyas 1/48 german infantry sets. Don't know of any in 1/35 sorry. See my thread "Stug II infantry diorama in progress".

I would get this Dragon figures set... I know it says 'Barbarossa 1941' on the box but I think you can get away with this because they wore same uniform and gears during the Invasion of France.  I always wanted to get this set... if you do, please let me know if its good or not.  

Here's another set from Dragon... two figures are in marching format you can use.

Hope this helps...

Anthony,,   I recently (within the last year) purchased a Dragon set that had a LOAD of marching figs crossing a pontoon bridge. The kit probably has a dozen figs and equipment, along with the bridge.

It was dirt cheap too. If you are interested, I will check my stash later today or this evening and give you the kit number. (send me a message if you wish)

Three of these marching figs are from that kit (altered heads on a couple).

Enjoy the ride!

Bill- I know what set you are talking about.  I almost brought it yesterday for like $25 or $30 at LHS but I didn't.  Maybe next time I will... it comes with a total of 13 soldiers!  Damn, I should have bought it!!! Bang Head

Andy, i've never seen that set before, looks like it could be very useful. You don't happen to know its title or number do you.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thanks, much appreciated. I seem to recall seeing that bridge in a Dragon kit, or something similar, but don't recall the figures.

Guys, that would be Dragon figures set #6532.  Here's the link if you want to take a better look at the set.  I have to agree with Bill... it is a great deal and you get four rafts too.

Will do. Managed to find one on E-bay. £26 for 13 figures, not bad going, especially by dragon standards.
