"The Victor"German Infantryman in France, early 1940.
This German Infantryman holding a French army helmet depicted the one sided walk-over of France during the early days of second World War. The German "lightning" assault tactics using fast mechanised vehicles caught the French forces literally off-guarded. Looking at it from another point of view, all the rest of Europe was basically easy cake for the German thrust once France was conquered.
This Verlinden Production 120mm figure was painted using oils for the flesh tones & Tamiya acrylics for the uniform. Details were touched up with Humbrols.
