Warmodelling 1/72 WW2 Late German Infantry

I picked these up from Wargame Miniatures in Melbourne (through the post). Delivery time was excellent and well packaged in a post box. The main idea was to get some more figures wearing the zeltbahn (a type of poncho made from a tent quarter) to match in with the AB Section in Zeltbahn figures I bought from Eureka Miniatures a few weeks ago. The soldier on the box front has one.

While i was getting them i spotted the Pak 40 kit which has four crew three of which are in the zeltbahn so that got added in to the parcel.

There are 20 figures in the box along with a tripod mounted MG42. Six figures in the poncho, an MG42 team firing over the shoulder of the loader and a crew walking with ammo cans and slung MG. A mix of smocks, Zelt's and normal tunic and short and long boots which is right for the time period.

It looks like there is some legal action pending with the original sculptor trying to stop a UK company reproducing the figures. The boxes i received are marked made in spain so im guessing they're older stock. Hopefully Xan will continue with his own sculpting and add some to this range when its resolved.

The animation is good on the figures but they seem a bit indistinct in their casting compared to AB's. Four of the gun barrels (three of the MP40 and one rifle) are severely bent and after a bit of a test i feel the material isn't going to straighten without snappping. 

Unfortunately the Pak 40 is missing the muzzle break. I'll chase that up and see if i can get the bit.
