Nice stuff, though it will depend on the pricing. Is the camo included as a decal or I presume you have to paint it?

I feel immense satisfaction when I complete a good (a rarity) German camo painting, yet these days time and eyesight makes decals very appealing. Fine looking models.

A nice figure indeed and well painted - so that's a no to transfers presumably. Figure is actually wearing a complete suit of the Special Winter Clothing in Waffen SS "Oakleaf" camoflauge (top) and white side out(trousers). Note also the special cold weather felt and leather boots.

You can paint as WH also.
I don´t think there were big differences between the WH-Splinter and SS ones appart from the camo.
Those are not filzstifel to me, look more like oversized gaiters over low boots. AFAIK winter boots didnt have shoe laces or side buckles:

Hot Dog, ANOTHER german in SS winter clothes! And ammo boxes and fuel cans. Wow, do I need to check out their range so that I can see something new for them? Wow, Another... What ever happened to the glorious SS and especially the 12SS in Normandy?!!!! "But they don't wear winter clothes..."

Quite right FJ - I missed the laces. You could paint as a Heer soldier also. I don't recall seeing these type of tall gaiters though, unless they are mountaineering equipment?
