1/35 M24 Stielhandgranate with square fragmentation sleeve – set of 25 pieces

Dynamo Models A35006 – 1/35 M24 Stielhandgranate with Square Fragmentation Sleeve – Set of 25 Pieces is a detailed accessory set containing twenty-five German Model 24 stick grenades fitted with patterned fragmentation sleeves. Digitally sculpted and produced in 3D-printed resin, these accessories are designed for upgrading 1/35 WWII figures, vehicles, trenches, bunkers and battlefield dioramas. The distinctive square-pattern sleeve gives this version a noticeably different appearance from both the standard M24 and the smooth-sleeve variant. Dynamo Models confirms A35006 as a 1/35 set of 25 3D-printed resin pieces supplied unbuilt and unpainted.

Contexte historique et thème

The Stielhandgranate 24 was one of the standard German hand grenades of World War II. Its easily recognizable design combined a cylindrical metal explosive head with a long hollow wooden handle containing the firing mechanism. A preserved Model 1924 example held by the Australian War Memorial confirms the metal-and-wood construction and provision on the grenade head for fitting an external fragmentation sleeve.

The standard M24 relied primarily on blast effect because its relatively thin casing produced limited fragmentation. Detachable fragmentation sleeves were therefore introduced to increase the number of fragments generated when the grenade detonated.

The patterned version represented by A35006 corresponds to the externally textured type of fragmentation sleeve. Historical examples show sleeves manufactured from sheet steel with a pattern rolled into the heated metal, producing the characteristic irregular square-like surface. Documentary research also records factory distribution of fragmentation sleeves with M24 grenades during the later part of the war.

Détails et réalisme des figurines et véhicules

At 1/35 scale, the Stielhandgranate remains immediately recognizable thanks to its elongated wooden handle and cylindrical explosive head. On this variant, the additional square-pattern fragmentation sleeve creates a heavier and more textured profile around the grenade head.

Dynamo Models produces A35006 as digitally sculpted 3D-printed resin equipment, allowing the small patterned surfaces and proportions to remain clearly defined at miniature scale. Twenty-five individual pieces are supplied, giving modelers enough accessories to equip several figures or distribute the grenades throughout a larger scene.

The accessories can be carried by figures or used as loose equipment, providing additional detail without requiring every grenade in the set to be used within a single project.

Utilisation en diorama et en affichage

A35006 is particularly useful for German WWII infantry and defensive scenes. Individual grenades can be positioned with soldiers, inside trenches, near bunker positions, beside field equipment or within ruined buildings.

They can also complement appropriate tanks, half-tracks, trucks and other military vehicles where crew or infantry equipment is being represented. A small number of grenades placed among ammunition boxes or other personal equipment can add convincing fine detail to a larger display.

Because the fragmentation sleeve is visually different from a standard uncovered M24, mixing A35006 with conventional stick grenades can also introduce realistic equipment variation within a group of figures.

Matériel et personnalisation

The set contains 25 accessories manufactured in 3D-printed resin. Each M24 is supplied unbuilt and unpainted. Glue and paint are not included.

Painting can emphasize the difference between the wooden handle, metal grenade head and fragmentation sleeve. Slight variations in wood tones and restrained metallic wear can give individual pieces more character when several are displayed together.

The raised square-pattern surface of the fragmentation sleeve can be enhanced with controlled highlights and subtle washes, helping the texture remain visible without exaggerating it at 1/35 scale.

À qui s'adresse-t-il ?

Dynamo Models A35006 is ideal for WWII figure painters, German military modelers, armor builders and diorama creators looking for highly detailed small-scale equipment.

The quantity of 25 pieces makes the set particularly practical for infantry groups, defensive positions, larger battlefield scenes and modelers who want a useful reserve of German WWII accessories for several projects.
