Tamiya 1/35 WWII German Machine Gunner & Luftwaffe Ace Pilot - Detail and Diorama Use

The Tamiya 1/35 WWII German Machine Gunner & Luftwaffe Ace Pilot figures bring focused uniform and equipment detail into a compact scale. These models are suitable for figure-focused scenes and pair well with vehicles and airfield bases in 1/35 layouts.

Profile of the German machine gunner

The machine gunner carries the MG42, famed for a rapid rate of fire around 1,200 rounds per minute. He wears a late-war greatcoat with a high collar intended for harsh weather, a design that reflects material changes as wool was increasingly blended with rayon during the conflict. The sculpt includes separate collar and cuff parts to help capture the layered look after painting.

Profile of the Luftwaffe ace

The Luftwaffe ace pilot is sculpted in the blue-gray service uniform seen during the Battle of Britain era. The figure suggests optional items like leather jumpers and scarves that pilots often favoured. You can build the model with or without the cap, and the arms-behind-back pose gives a natural, contemplative posture ideal for hangar or briefing scene compositions.
