Plastic Platoon Future Release German Mortar Team, Mikhail has shown on Facebook a summer release of WWII Germans to fight the Russians he has released. It is a very interesting set, so let’s take a look.
Plastic Platoon Future Release German Mortar Team Figures
The two poses of the team are a German soldier kneeling ready to pull the triggering the mortar. the other pose I German crouching and handing a shell in his right hand. An ammo box is open showing half the shells are gone.
Interesting set ,second time the 5 cm Granatwerfer 36 is made in 1/32-1/30 scale plastic toy soldier figures non kit .First ever depict it was Dulcop who made one of best German infantry toy soldier set in era when toy makers did no cover well weapons. Dulcop mp 44,mp40,mg 42 and 5 cm Granatwerfer 36 poses were impressive for time .
The pose of officer looks like it carry a MP 28 , MP34 ,or maybe a MP35!? .Such weapons were not used much at all in front line or by 1941 in eastern front but still can be taken as exclusive pose .
These PP as usual very well done figures and super pricey figures of course.
wish good luck .
my thoughts
Starlux also did a 5cm leGrw 36 team so assume it could be third time a maker came up with this weapon to arm little 54-60 mm guys.
Sitting firing pose looks like using a Walther Gewehr 41 (W) self loading rifle.
An excotic weapon choice too.
Markus you right ,i complete forgot it .
In fact i have not the team set as i manage get the two crew but not mortar and i give up back then.Wen makers give weapons separated or semi attached it happen often unfortunately
The Gewehr 41 (W) or Gewehr 43 i think had been depicted recently by Mars in two sets .Just that the brand figures is not so well detail as PP at all of course .This PP set is interesting ,it looks like a mix troopers poses in mini statue style .
