Italeri 1/72 D.A.K. Infantry WWII - Scale Figures of the Afrika Korps

The Italeri 1/72 D.A.K. Infantry WWII kit offers a faithful small scale representation of the Deutsche Afrika Korps, commanded by Erwin Rommel. The set is aimed at collectors and modellers who want to illustrate North Africa operations with compact, detailed figures.

Brief Campaign Background

After the loss of Cyrenaica in early 1941, German forces including the Afrika Korps arrived to bolster Axis efforts. Under Rommel they regained territory such as Cyrenaica and Tobruk and advanced toward Egypt, but supply issues and Allied counterattacks led to a withdrawal to Tunisia by 1943. This kit supports recreating those key moments in miniature form.

Modelling Approach and Display Use

Suited to those who enjoy historical accuracy in small scale, this 1/72 Italeri kit features finely modelled uniforms and gear that reward careful painting and basing. Completed figures are well suited for shelf displays or as part of larger World War II dioramas.
