Tamiya 36310 1/16 Desert Crewman Figure - German Africa Corps  [36310]

Detailed 1/16 Representation of a Desert Crewman

The Tamiya 36310 model brings a 1/16 scale German Africa Corps tank crewman to the bench, with careful attention to uniform folds and a casually posed stance that works well in scenes and stands. Sculpt details are designed to take paint and weathering techniques cleanly.

Historical Background and Modelling Notes

Sent to North Africa in early 1941 to support Italian forces, the German Africa Corps became synonymous with mobile desert operations under Rommel. This roughly 113mm tall figure gives hobbyists an opportunity to portray period clothing and facial features with clear scale presence.

Parts, Accessories and Build Choices

The kit contains decals for lapel and shoulder emblems and offers headgear options including a brimmed or brimless cap. The sculpt allows the right hand to hold either a canteen or a small chameleon accessory, and the display base includes a cactus and a jerry can to suggest a North African setting.
