The Tamiya 1/35 WWII German Machine Gunner & Luftwaffe Ace Pilot figures are sculpted to capture period uniform details and equipment. They suit collectors seeking historically informed figures and modellers building airfield or combat scenes at 1/35 scale.
This figure is equipped with the MG42, renowned for a firing rate of about 1,200 rounds per minute. He wears a late-war greatcoat with a large collar intended for cold conditions, a garment that shifted in composition from wool toward more rayon as wartime shortages increased. The model includes separate collar and cuff parts to aid realistic assembly and painting.
The Luftwaffe ace is depicted in the blue-gray service uniform associated with the Battle of Britain period. Pilots often personalised their kit with leather jumpers or scarves, and the sculpt reflects those options. The design allows the figure to be built with or without a cap and the pose with hands behind the back gives a confident, observant character for display.
