I'm trying to plan a Normandy dio, with a US soldier pausing after shooting a few Germans. Anyway, which are the best plastic kits to use to make dead soldiers (in suitable posistions ). What do you guys use? Thank you!

I'm not sure that I've seen any plastic German fatalities. Mostly see the resins.

I'm doing a Kursk dio with a dead panzer crew member in it, and have found nothing suitable, so I am attempting to make one from scratch almost entirely. There is a really cool book called "Bill Horans Military Modelling Masterclass", that has alot of shots that could give you some good ideas on how to make your own. If nothing else, check it out to see how great his work is.

Brian is correct. VLS do German casualities albeit in resin. Not sure which one of the VLS sub-division do them at the moment...

Had a quick dig through the stash and Verlinden do at least 4 dead germans.
What location / time are you looking for?
If you keen on kitbashing one your bedt of starting with a prone figure and going from there.

Thanks guys! AndyD, I was thinking Normandy (D-Day), and I probably will 'kitbash' a few, because resin (whilst very good!) is a little expensive for a teenage boy! Thanks again, and I will check out Verlinden, if just for reference!
