Tamiya 36310 1/16 Scale German Africa Corps Crewman Model  [36310]

Figure Model of a German Africa Corps Tank Crewman

The Tamiya 36310 kit recreates a German Africa Corps tank crewman in 1/16 scale, emphasising authentic uniform lines and a relaxed stance that suits both display and diorama use. The sculpt is tailored to accept paint and weathering for a believable finish.

Background and Modelling Context

Deployed from early 1941 to assist Italian forces, the German Africa Corps became well known for its desert operations under the leadership of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. At approximately 113mm tall, this figure allows modellers to capture facial expression and uniform detail at a useful display scale.

What the Kit Includes and Assembly Choices

The kit supplies decals for shoulder and lapel insignia and provides options for a brimmed or brimless cap during assembly. The right hand can hold either a canteen or a small chameleon figure to add character, while base elements like a cactus and a jerry can help create a North African scene.
