1/35 M43 Stielhandgranate – set of 25 pieces

Dynamo Models A35007 – 1/35 M43 Stielhandgranate – Set of 25 Pieces is a highly detailed accessory set containing twenty-five German Model 43 stick grenades. Digitally sculpted and produced in 3D-printed resin, the set is designed for upgrading 1/35 WWII figures, military vehicles, defensive positions and historical dioramas. The M43 retained the unmistakable stick-grenade silhouette while introducing a simplified configuration suited to wartime production. A35007 contains 25 individual pieces, providing enough accessories for infantry groups, larger scenes or several separate modeling projects. The reference, scale, resin construction and 25-piece contents are confirmed for this Dynamo Models set.

Historical Context & Theme

The M43 Stielhandgranate was introduced in 1943 as a simplified development of the earlier German stick-grenade family. It retained the characteristic cylindrical explosive head and wooden handle but revised the ignition arrangement. On the M43, the igniter was positioned directly at the grenade head rather than being operated through the base of the wooden handle as on earlier models. This simplified construction was consistent with Germany’s increasing emphasis on reducing manufacturing complexity during the later years of World War II.

The M43 remained in German service through the end of the war and is particularly associated with late-war infantry equipment. Its introduction in 1943 makes it appropriate for historical scenes set in campaigns such as Italy, the Eastern Front, Normandy, the Ardennes and Germany in 1945 when supported by figures and equipment appropriate to the specific date and unit.

Figure / Vehicle Details & Realism

The M43 preserved the distinctive elongated form that makes German stick grenades immediately recognizable in miniature. Its wooden handle and cylindrical grenade head give it a clear silhouette even at 1/35 scale, while the revised top-mounted ignition arrangement differentiates it from the earlier M24 configuration.

Dynamo Models produces A35007 as digitally sculpted 3D-printed resin equipment. This production method allows the small proportions and characteristic shapes of the weapon to remain well defined, making the set particularly suitable for detailed figures and close-up diorama work.

With twenty-five individual grenades included, modelers can equip several figures consistently or use selected pieces as loose equipment throughout a scene.

Diorama & Display Use

A35007 is particularly suitable for German WWII scenes from 1943 to 1945. The grenades can be added to infantry figures, placed inside trenches and bunkers, positioned near defensive areas or integrated into ruined urban environments.

They can also complement appropriate tanks, half-tracks, trucks and other military vehicles where crew or infantry equipment is represented. Individual grenades placed alongside other field gear can provide small but effective details that help a larger diorama feel occupied and operational.

For Normandy or Ardennes projects, the M43 is especially relevant to late-war German infantry settings and can be combined with period-appropriate figures, weapons and equipment.

Material & Customization

Dynamo Models A35007 contains twenty-five 1/35 accessories produced in 3D-printed resin. The set is digitally sculpted and modeled and is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paint are not included.

Painting can emphasize the visual contrast between the wooden handles and metal grenade heads. Slight variations in wood tone can give individual pieces a more natural appearance when several are displayed together, while controlled highlights and restrained wear can help preserve the fine details at scale.

The grenades can be combined with other figure equipment, ammunition accessories or vehicle stowage according to the historical references used for the chosen scene.

Who It’s For

This accessory set is ideal for 1/35 WWII figure painters, German military modelers, armor builders and diorama creators looking for detailed late-war equipment.

The quantity of 25 pieces makes A35007 especially practical for larger infantry scenes, defensive positions and modelers who want a reserve of detailed German accessories for multiple projects.
