Italeri 1/72 D.A.K. Infantry WWII - Detailed Afrika Korps Figures

The Italeri 1/72 D.A.K. Infantry WWII kit captures the Deutsche Afrika Korps with a focus on accurate posture and kit detail. Enthusiasts can recreate North Africa scenes with figures reflecting period uniforms and equipment, suitable for historical displays and tabletop dioramas.

Overview of Campaign Events

After Italy lost Cyrenaica in early 1941, German intervention via the Afrika Korps under Rommel became decisive in a number of counterattacks. The forces regained ground including Cyrenaica and Tobruk, then advanced toward Egypt before supply shortages and Allied pressure caused a retreat into Tunisia in 1943. This model set supports study and display of those operations.

Assembly Experience and Presentation

Designed for modellers who care about uniform and equipment accuracy, this 1/72 Italeri kit offers sculpted figures that assemble into convincing scenes. Painting and careful basing enhance the finished look, making these figures a strong complement to other WWII collections.

Specifications

  • Scale - 1/72
  • Material - high quality plastic
  • Assembly - requires glue

Yes, the 1/72 scale is standard and these figures are compatible with most vehicles and scenery in the same scale for cohesive dioramas.
Painting is optional but advised. A simple basecoat and a few washes will bring out the sculpted detail and improve realism significantly.
Hobbyists with basic modelling skills will find the kit approachable. Beginners should take time for cleaning parts and test-fitting before gluing.
The figures are modelled to reflect typical Afrika Korps uniforms and gear of the period, offering good detail for the scale and excellent potential after painting.
