German Insignia WWII
Lion Roar 1:16 set #LAM027
Review by Terry Ashley
This set of etched German Insignia from WWII is for larger figures in 1:16
scale and has a good selection of rank insignia, collar patches, campaign shields
and service awards in fine etched metal.
The etching is extremely fine with relief to different degrees to add nice
definition as well as the fine chain cleanly etched for the chest crests such
as for the Feldgendarmerie crest. Added to this are some items etched in two
parts to add additional definition such as the belt buckles which also have
you bend the edges at right angles to sit better on the larger 1:16 belts.
The details and etching relief in this larger scale is superbly done with
slightly thicker metal added a nice ‘feel’ to the various insignia.
Added to the array of insignia and awards is a neat little fob watch with
very fine chain attached and the watch cover that can be folded over if you
want the watched close with a very fine ‘Eagle crest’ on the outer
cover.
A large sheet is included showing the typical location of each item on the
uniform as well as full list of the insignia so you know exactly what they
are to decide if applicable to your figures.
Conclusion:
This is a very nice accessory for larger figure modellers with very fine etching
on the insignia and the items with two parts adding further definition and
will look even better in this larger scale that in the smaller 1:35 scale.
Highly recommended.
