Italeri 6068 1/72 German Elite Troops Figures

This Italeri 1/72 WWII German Elite Troops model kit gives Canadian model builders a compact, historically grounded set to add to a wartime vignette or diorama. The figures are based on units involved in the Ardennes offensive and include accurate period gear, notably the Sturmgewehr 44, which influenced later assault rifle designs.

Context and appeal for model builders

The kit represents German elite formations active during the December 1944 offensive in the Ardennes. It is ideal for recreating scenes from the Battle of the Bulge and for showcasing figure work alongside vehicles or terrain sections that reflect the siege of Bastogne.

Assembly tips and display outcomes

At 1/72 scale the components are finely moulded, offering detail that rewards careful assembly and painting. The build suits modellers with basic to intermediate skills and yields compact display-ready figures that enhance any WWII collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72

The kit is detailed but manageable. Basic modelling tools and patience are needed; pinning is not typically required for 1/72 figures, but careful trimming and test-fitting improve the result.
Acrylic or enamel paints both work. Use fine brushes for faces and straps, and consider a wash to bring out uniform folds and equipment detail for a realistic finish.
Yes, the 1/72 scale matches most vehicle kits, making them suitable for dioramas or mixed displays showing infantry alongside tanks and trucks from the same period.
