hi all, ive been working on dragon's raketenwerfer 43 w/ fallschirmjager set and noticed the insignia included on the photoetched metal rack(sprue?). I want to use them but besides the belt buckles and eagles i dont know where the rest are placed. any help on the location of these would be great.

Hi,

I think this might help (poster of German medals):

I had seen the set a few weeks ago, and if i remember correctly they were medals.
Hope this helped.
Regards,

Spence, I assume you are talking about insignia like the Iron Cross and other awards seen on German uniforms? Most of the awards would be on the left breast of the uniform. The only one I can think of that would be on the right under the eagle is the Order of the German Cross:

The Knights Cross (looks like the Iron Cross only slightly bigger with brighter silver edges) is worn around the neck.

War Merit crosses are, I believe, also worn around the neck.

As far as I am aware all other awards/badges etc are worn over the left breast.
If you are in doubt then you could post a picture of the awards/badges/insignia you want to put on the models and I'm sure myself or someone else here will be able to help.

Good luck,
