Historical Context & Theme
The 1/48 ’40 – French Infantry on the March 6 by Dynamo Models continues the tribute to the French Army of 1940, capturing the strength and endurance of soldiers during the Battle of France.
In May–June 1940, these men marched through countryside roads and shattered towns, carrying their equipment and hopes amid the chaos of retreat and resistance.
This figure embodies that quiet heroism — an infantryman pressing forward, tired yet steadfast, reflecting the human side of a rapidly unfolding war.
Figure Details & Realism
This 1/48 scale resin figure represents a French infantryman in motion, wearing the M1935 field uniform, Adrian helmet, and full marching kit including rifle, backpack, and belt gear.
His posture — leaning slightly forward under the weight of his load — evokes the fatigue of long marches while maintaining realism and balance in scale.
Fine sculpting captures fabric folds, strap tension, and equipment placement, offering lifelike definition despite the small size.
Digitally designed and 3D printed in high-resolution resin, the figure preserves crisp detail, ready for advanced painting and weathering work.
Diorama & Display Use
Perfect for Battle of France or early WWII dioramas, this marching figure integrates seamlessly with French Infantry on the March Nos. 1–5 (48024–48028) to form a coherent movement sequence.

His realistic motion makes him ideal for narrative compositions depicting soldiers advancing or regrouping under pressure.
