Dynamo Models 35313 \u2013 1\/35 W\u00fcnsche & Ribbentrop \u2013 12. SS Panzer Division \u2013 Rots, Normandy 1944 is a two-figure resin set inspired by a documented wartime photographic sequence taken during the Normandy campaign. Sculpted by Forghi, the set depicts Max W\u00fcnsche at the controls of a motorcycle and Rudolf von Ribbentrop seated low in the sidecar. Distinctive details include W\u00fcnsche\u2019s bandaged head and camouflage clothing together with Ribbentrop\u2019s spectacles, leather jacket and injured arm in a sling. Two head choices are included in the kit.<\/p>\n
The scene represented took place at Rots in Normandy on 9 June 1944<\/strong>, only three days after D-Day. SS-Obersturmbannf\u00fchrer Max W\u00fcnsche commanded SS-Panzer-Regiment 12 of the 12. SS-Panzer-Division, while Rudolf von Ribbentrop served with 3. Kompanie, I.\/SS-Panzer-Regiment 12. Period photographs identify von Ribbentrop in the sidecar and W\u00fcnsche driving the motorcycle after visiting survivors in the Rots area following fighting around Norrey-en-Bessin.<\/p>\n The photographs capture a very specific moment during the fighting west of Caen, making this set especially suitable for modelers who prefer to reconstruct identifiable historical scenes rather than create generic German personnel.<\/p>\n The 12th SS Panzer Division was a Waffen-SS formation. Its Normandy record also includes documented executions of Canadian prisoners of war after the D-Day landings, an important part of the historical context surrounding the unit.<\/p>\n DYM-35313 contains two separate 1\/35 figures designed to function together as a single motorcycle-and-sidecar composition.<\/p>\n W\u00fcnsche is sculpted astride the motorcycle position behind the handlebars. His appearance follows the photographic reference, including the camouflage smock and conspicuous bandage around his head.<\/p>\n Ribbentrop occupies the sidecar position and is represented wearing spectacles and a leather jacket, with his injured arm supported in a sling. These features closely reproduce the recognizable appearance of both men in the surviving photographs.<\/p>\n The figures are cast in light-grey resin, and the set includes two head choices. Their poses are specifically designed around the motorcycle scene rather than as generic standing figures.<\/p>\n This set is particularly suited to a detailed Normandy 1944 vignette based on Rots and the fighting around Norrey-en-Bessin. An appropriate 1\/35 German motorcycle with sidecar provides the natural centerpiece for the two figures.<\/p>\n A narrow road, stone wall, village building, roadside vegetation and light battlefield damage can help reproduce the visual character of the Rots area. Because the original photograph documents a specific date and location, the figures are also ideal for historically researched builds based directly on wartime imagery.<\/p>\n Dynamo Models 35313 is supplied as a resin figure set for assembly and painting. The fine sculpting provides strong opportunities for detailed treatment of camouflage fabric, leather clothing, facial features, spectacles, bandages and the sling.<\/p>\n Careful use of period photographs is recommended when reproducing clothing tones and insignia. Subtle dust and road grime can help integrate the figures naturally with the motorcycle and Normandy groundwork.<\/p>\n This set is aimed at experienced WWII figure painters, Normandy campaign modelers and builders interested in recreating specific scenes from historical photography.<\/p>\n It is especially suitable for a compact narrative vignette where the two figures and motorcycle form the central focus.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dynamo Models DYM-35313 W\u00fcnsche & Ribbentrop \u2013 Normandy 1944 is a 1\/35 resin figure set depicting Max W\u00fcnsche and Rudolf von Ribbentrop in the documented motorcycle-and-sidecar scene photographed at Rots on 9 June 1944.
