1/48 ’40 – German Soldiers Inspecting a Tank Set

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/48 German Soldiers Inspecting a Tank Set represents early-war Wehrmacht troops during the 1940 Western Campaign. As German armored columns pushed rapidly through France, Belgium, and the Low Countries, infantry frequently inspected vehicles along the route—evaluating captured French armor, identifying mechanical issues, or assessing battle damage. This set captures that characteristic blend of curiosity, caution, and operational routine that defined the early Blitzkrieg period. The 1/48 German Soldiers Inspecting a Tank Set adds historically grounded atmosphere ideal for portraying roadside pauses, post-engagement checks, or reconnaissance moments in 1940.

Figure Details & Realism

The 1/48 German Soldiers Inspecting a Tank Set includes two resin figures in natural investigative poses—one leaning forward to examine armor plating and another crouched or observing details closely. Their M1936 uniforms, boots, helmets, and belt equipment are sculpted with accuracy. High-resolution resin printing delivers crisp surface detail, expressive anatomy, and clean fabric folds, offering painters an excellent foundation for realistic Wehrmacht finishes.

Diorama & Display Use

This set is perfect for dioramas featuring Panzer I, Panzer II, early Panzer III, or captured French vehicles such as the R35, H39, or SOMUA S35. The 1/48 German Soldiers Inspecting a Tank Set enhances workshop scenes, maintenance stops, reconnaissance pauses, and post-battle examinations. Their interactive poses make them ideal for storytelling-driven early-war layouts.

Material & Customization

Cast in high-quality resin, the figures require assembly and paint. The 1/48 German Soldiers Inspecting a Tank Set supports feldgrau tones, leather accents, and weathering effects. Glue and paint are not included.
