German Feldgendarme
Gaso.Line Kit #50338
1:48 Scale
Review by Terry Ashley

Two figures are again included in this set with the two Feldgendarmes’ and their Alsatian dogs with one wearing a greatcoat and steel helmet with all personal equipment included in the casting with the second wearing the 1942 pattern field grey tunic and trousers also with steel helmet and armed with a Kar98 rifle while both have the Feldgendarmes’ gorget on their chests.

Each figure has the full body cast in one piece with just the arms separate and the usual casting blocks and some minor casting seams down one side to be removed before assembly, the figure in greatcoat also has separate boots.

The two dogs are identical but this wouldn’t be noticed unless standing right next to each other and have textured coats and are well proportioned.

The uniform and facial features are very detailed for this scale and include well defined details such as belts, pockets and fabric folds as well as rank insignia on the arms and shoulder lapels although the figure in greatcoat is marred by a couple of sizable air holes around the helmet edges and on the bottom of the greatcoat.

Assembly was straightforward without any problems with the arms having large pins that fit into corresponding holes in the shoulders for a good fit and the rifle has the sling included in the body casting and just needs to be glued to the body to line up with the sling.

A couple of nice figures to add a bit of officialdom to your dioramas

Highly recommended for 1:48 vehicle fans.
