Andrea Miniatures released a new figure in their Eisernes Kreuz line of miniatures. Again, the figure is available across the different scales.
The figure depicts a German paratrooper Oberfeldwebel (sergeant major) sporting the tropical clothing donned by these troops in Italy during the last phase of the war and a jump smock in splinter camouflage pattern. Interestingly, he is armed with a FG42 (G model) assault rifle, the second version of the Fallschimhägerwehr 42. These assault rifles were specially designed for paratroopers and first documented use took place during the daring rescue of Mussolini at the Gran Sasso in September 1943.

These figures are simply THE BEST! I've been so impressed with every offering in the series, and the fact that they're available in multiple scales only makes a good thing so much better. Gotta get around to getting an order in someday. Soon. I hope...
