1/72 (20mm) Late War German Infantry Heavy Weapons (The Plastic Soldier Company)

 

The Plastic Soldier Company produces a 1/72 scale (20mm) set of Late War German Infantry Heavy Weapons.  The miniatures are well sculpted and cast in hard plastic, which provides excellent detail.  As with the previous Plastic Soldier Company kits I purchased, I was really impressed with this kit.  Needless to say, I plan on purchasing more Plastics Soldier Company sets in the future.  The box set itself contains three hard plastic sprues, allowing you to build 42 figures.  Each sprue contains 14 figures divided into the following teams:

•  81 mm mortar team (operated by two soldiers)
• 120 mm mortar team (operated by two soldiers)
• Machine gun team (operated by two soldiers)
• Panzerschrecks team firing (two soldiers)
• Panzerschrecks team moving (two soldiers)
• 2 soldiers with Panzerfausts (one kneeling and the other standing)
• An ammo supplier
• An extra soldier that can be added to the heavy weapons teams.

I painted two sprues of the Late War German Infantry Heavy Weapons, trying my best to capture the look of the late war German camouflage.  I based these figures on Plastic Soldiers Company’s 15mm bases (the bases were sold separately).
