Description

FABRIC TEXTURE APPLIQUE

These are not decals, dry transfers, vinyl stickers or printed fabric. They are flexible, scale thickness fabric textured appliqués with an indefinite shelf life. Easy to apply and compatible with any paint system.

With blue Waffenfarbe for medical personnel. Comes with enough for over forty figures. Comes with detailed placement instructions.

NOTE:
This is one of those grey areas as to what should have happened and what did. As troops left for Africa they were issued tropical clothing from either Heer or Luftwaffe stores. These would already have the appropriate style of national emblem and collar patches applied. Rank was then added by the wearer, this should also have been DAK-correct but there are numerous examples of temperate clothing rank badges (shoulder boards) applied as often the DAK version was not available. There was no specific panzer crew collar patches for Africa. The only examples of the panzer skull we have seen is the metal badge pinned through the ordinary collar patch.

(Requires AR99052E and helmet insignias AR99044 to complete uniform)
