Tamiya 36310 1/16 German Africa Corps Tank Crew Figure Kit  [36310]

Scale Figure Portraying a German Africa Corps Crewman

The Tamiya 36310 kit presents a 1/16 scale rendition of a German Africa Corps tank crewman, focusing on authentic uniform detailing and a relaxed stance that suits dioramas. The sculpting highlights folds, pocket detail and a natural pose that fits tactical or vignette displays.

Context and Modelling Appeal

Deployed in early 1941 to support Italian units, the German Africa Corps became known for mobile desert operations under Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. This figure, around 113mm tall, provides modellers with a chance to capture period tailoring and facial character in a size that balances display impact and fine detail.

Included Details and Display Options

The set supplies decals for shoulder and lapel insignia to enhance authenticity, and assembly choices for either a brimmed or brimless cap. The right hand can accept a canteen or a small chameleon figure, adding a touch of personality, while the supplied base elements like a cactus and jerry can build a compact North Africa scene.
