Panzerknacker – Tank Busters

Revisión de las figuras C-P Models en escala 1:72

C-P Models offers a set of five Wehrmacht Panzerknacker figuras suitable for the 1943 to 1945 period of the war. These figuras represent men from different units of the Wehrmacht, some wearing camouflage smocks and helmet covers, others in late war uniform with falling collar. These figuras are 23 to 24 mm tall, well proportioned, and slender enough to be compatible with 1:72 scale plastic miniatures. The kneeling man (5), throwing the anti-tank mine, seems to be straight out of an old Wehrmacht training manual. The question remains then and now: how far do you throw a 9.4 kg (21 lb) anti-tank Tellermine to avoid the blast?

Evaluación

• Excellent choice of subject. German Panzerknacker figuras have been covered in other figure sets, but these five figuras are clearly into the job at hand.
• Useful historic poses.
• Compatible with Revell, and Reviresco.

• Considering that the German Tellermine was nearly 4 inches thick, Panzerknacker Nr. 5 might be better advised to hold it by the handle, rather than between his thumb and fingers. In a kneeling position, the best he can hope for is to toss the mine into a roadway and pray that it slides the extra inches to hit the approaching tank’s running gear.

These Panzerknacker figuras are well sculpted and nicely compatible with existing 1:72 scale plastic troops. They may be deployed individually to represent tank busters operating on their own initiative, or mixed into regular troops stands to indicate any tank busting capability the unit might have. Mixed into an infantry stand, the advancing and kneeling tank busters are inconspicuous enough to avoid detection on the wargame table.
