Normally Alpine miniatures provide a resin figure with a choice of two heads for the modeller to change the look or feel of the scene. Taesung Harmms, Alpine Miniatures’ sculptor has come up with a clever idea. The supplied headgear can be used to make each of these figures into an SS tanker or a Heer Tanker. Below is a figure in each light gray resin with one option of headgear…

The second figure is also a choice for the modeller. The second figure is also a choice for the modeller. It comes with SS headgear and a head that was taken from SS tanker. The figure is complete, though much will be hidden inside the cupola. The detail on this figure is stunning. You can find him here, wearing the M-43 field cap. You can see him below, with the M43 headgear. The reversible jacket has a lot of folds. While the trousers are lined, thicker and have no wrinkles at all, this man’s jacket’s back is Amazing in this scale people!
