Fortes Miniatures "Green Devil" touches down...

Diego Fortes brings us his newest creating in his own range of figures – He is going German this time – a crack force of only 100 early-war Fallschirmjäger are ready to land on your workbench…
Miniaturas Fortes New Release - January 2013:

100 figures limited edition (75mm, 1/24 scale)          

Always a popular subject – this German paratrooper form early in WWII comes in resin with two different head choices – one with his standard short brimmed “Fallschirmschützen-Stahlhelm 38” jump helmet whilst the other helmet shows the soldier’s features a little more with his helmet off …
His torso is replete with his close fitting jump smock over his regular uniform. Over this smock is the parra’s webbing on which his arsenal of ammo pouches for MP-40, main belt and M-31 canteen (in "Fliegerblau" remember) he carries several stick grenades tucked into his belt and his webbing as well as his trusty SMG MP-40 – Which you can chose if you want the stock folded or extended and forward or rearward - and don't forget his pistol in his holster on his left hip. He also wears some early war tall lace up boots which cover his pants.
This early war “Green Devil” of the German Luftwaffe is only going to be cast in a set of 100 figures – you can get them from Diego’s site http://www.miniaturasfortes.com/ - alternatively check out his Facebook page on which he is always updating you of his exploits!
