Glad you like it!:-)
Indeed they ...Hello Stephan,<br /><br />Glad you like it!:-)<br /><br />Indeed they did wear a white eagle on their right breast and included rank on their left sleeve which is all they wore on their smocks unless on parade where shoulder boards were added.The eagle on the model is bigger then it actually was and this could be giving the impression of impracticability.There are numerous examples of photo's with the eagle on the breast.Please do not base your opinion on modern drawings and replica uniforms where often this is omitted for legal reasons(Germany) and/or to better camouflage themselves.<br />I recommend you study the historical black and whites where it is often shown.Of course some smocks did not have them as some soldiers removed them or darkened them in themselves.I like the extra identification as Fallschirmjäger it adds to the figure and so I choose to leave it on.:-)<br /><br />Cheers<br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-19534445227550140302010-07-31T11:08:41.760-07:002010-07-31T11:08:41.760-07:00Again, very cool, Christopher! but I think the eag...Again, very cool, Christopher! but I think the eagle on his chest isn't historical accurate, as I have never seend an eagle on a camo pattern. I think if an eagle is on the miniature, it should be the regular field grey uniform. An eagle would be the very opposite of an camo, don't you think so?<br /><br />StephanStephan Huber aka Regulatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863599192684824521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-78487403760674351522010-07-31T03:12:56.242-07:002010-07-31T03:12:56.242-07:00Thank you guys!:-)

Problem is it might be too effective and not stand out on the table as prominently as two and three. Do you go for effective camouflage or decent visibility? They all look fantastic either way.<br /><br />regards<br />ppPaintPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047331820540221681noreply@blogger.com
