Italeri 6076 - 1/72 Afrika Korps diorama figures, classic WWII subject  [IT-6076S]

Italeri 6076 - North Africa campaign in 1/72 scale

The Italeri 6076 set offers a faithful small-scale portrayal of the Deutsche Afrika Korps, reflecting the uniforms and gear used during the North African fighting. These 1/72 figures are ideal for collectors who want historically grounded miniatures without taking up much shelf space.

Operational history and model context

Sent to North Africa in 1941 to bolster Italian units, the Afrika Korps under Erwin Rommel staged rapid advances that included operations around Cyrenaica and Tobruk, before supply limits and Allied counteroffensives, including El Alamein, halted their progress. This kit helps modelmakers illustrate those events with accurate soldier poses and equipment.

Building tips and finishing ideas

Parts are designed for detail at a small scale, so careful trimming and thin paint layers will improve the final look. These figures are well suited to small dioramas, vehicle crews, or grouped displays that evoke the desert campaign.
