Italeri 6045 1/72 Fallschirmjaeger - Historical model brief

Fallschirmjaeger units featured heavily in several airborne operations during WWII, most famously the Crete campaign. The Italeri 6045 figures capture period equipment and uniform shapes in 1/72 scale, letting you represent airborne tasks in a compact format.

Historical context for the kit

These paratroopers are often studied for their equipment choices and tactical use. Modellers can use this set to study how uniforms and loadouts differed between early and late war uniforms and to recreate a specific moment in time.

Assembly notes and finishing

Parts are arranged for straightforward construction while still showing fine detail on helmets, packs and weapons. With careful painting and washes the finished figures can convey authentic texture and wear.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
Common choices include field grey and various olive shades. For accuracy, consult references and apply a base coat followed by subtle highlights and a light wash to bring out detail.
The kit is suitable for someone with basic modelling experience. Small parts require patience, but straightforward assembly makes it a good step up from simple snap kits.
Yes. The 1/72 scale is common for vehicles and figures, so these soldiers will sit well alongside transport and armoured models in the same scale.
Use fine ballast or static grass for realism. Glue figures to a thin base first to adjust composition, then secure everything to the final display board.
