Tamiya 1/35 Military - German Mounted Infantry Ltd - 35053

The Tamiya 1/35 German Mounted Infantry (35053) is an unusual and historically interesting figure set depicting German soldiers on horseback — a reminder that despite its reputation for mechanisation, the Wehrmacht relied heavily on horse transport throughout the war, particularly on the Eastern Front. Cavalry reconnaissance units and mounted infantry remained in service right through to 1945, often providing screening and reconnaissance in terrain where motor vehicles struggled.

This distinctive set provides an excellent contrast to the mechanised focus of most 1/35 German subjects, and it pairs well with Tamiya's range of early-war German infantry figures for dioramas depicting the 1941–42 Eastern Front.

Kit highlights:

• German cavalry figures on horseback in 1/35 scale
• Detailed horses and mounted equipment
• Authentic Wehrmacht uniforms and cavalry equipment
• Ideal for Eastern Front reconnaissance dioramas
• An unusual and rarely modelled aspect of German WWII forces

Please note: Figures require cement and paints, sold separately.
