The Italeri 1/72 WWII German Elite Troops model kit provides Australian builders with a compact set of figures representing elite units from the Ardennes campaign. The set highlights period equipment and includes representations of the Sturmgewehr 44, a notable development in small arms history.
The figures reflect German forces involved in the December 1944 offensive aimed at splitting Allied positions. They are well suited for scenes depicting the Battle of the Bulge and engagements such as the defence around Bastogne.
Moulding at 1/72 scale delivers fine detail that benefits from careful assembly and paintwork. The kit suits intermediate modellers and collectors looking to add accurate infantry groups to a WWII display.
