Work finish- The shooter pose from 1/72 Imex "German Infantry"

The figure is form Imex's "German Infantry" and is one of the most common pose encountered in various sets.
In the above mentioned set, there are 8 such poses and I tried to convert 6 of them.
It is also the only one for which the left arm is provided separately and the conversions are facilitated due to the fact that the set is manufactured in hard plastic.
For the conversions I used only Preiser heads and arms, Pegasus Hobbies as well as arms (removed) from other figures included in the Imex set.
I also added to them various equipment and other items also from Preiser. The first soldier from the left from the first picture features the standard pose of the set. I painted them as Panzer Grenadier units from Wehrmacht and the colours of various items as well the camouflage pattern of the Zeltbahns attests this thing.

Of course, soon I will start to paint and the rest of Imex's WII Germans set and the review will follow it.
Till then, I hope you like them and any suggestion is more than welcome.

The last photo features the initial figure.

Yes, it is a very useful pose, especially for fighting scenarios. At 1/72 I can give you the names of tens of sets including similar poses, but with 1/35 I am almost a complete stranger.

As far as I know, it was a quite similar pose in a 1/35 or 1/32 (I am not sure about the scale) old Airfix set.

Thank you very much for your message, glad that you enjoy them.
