Yes, It is the Italeri kit.
As it is with most of my kits, I bought this one about 20 years ago and after having been out of modelling for a while, I'm just getting around to building her.
Tom I understand you're a "Nord" guy... So, I'll give you a little preview of a
6th SS Vignette I've got "In the works". No base as of yet and I think I'm going to have to change those damn helmets (they looked okay when I started it but they look really crappy to me now!). Haven't finished painting the figures either, they're only about 80% done at this point.
Here it is:
I've made an attempt to duplicate the Gebirgsjager Climbing Boot best seen on the gunner in this pic.... might have to touch-up or re-do those too.
The Offizier's beard will not appear this heavy when done. That's how I duplicate evening shadow, paint a beard on in grey then light wash flesh tone over it...works well.
Hope you like 'em,
