TWM 48005 – Desert Rats

Typical of the North African Theatre of Operations and the fighting

against the Desert Fox´s DAK in Libya and Egypt, this pair of soldiers

represent the early Western Desert Force and late Eighth Army in summer.

The Australian soldier wears a "Digger" hat, tropical shirt, 1941

pattern khaki drill shorts, hosetops, puttees, 1937 Pattern web

equipment, haversack, respirator on the left hip alongside the Nº 1

(SMLE) bayonet scabbard, standard .303in SMLE Nº 1 Mk III rifle, and

heavy entrenching tool. His British companion, who easily can be used as

an infantryman, artilleryman or as you need for your scenes and

dioramas, also wears tropical shirt and khaki drill shorts, hosetops and

web ankles; the helmet is the standard MK II steel helmet model. The

heads are also interchangeable to allow for flexibility of use in

different settings.

TWM 48003 – Soviet Summer Scouts

This first set of "Razvedchik" includes 2 Red Army scouts dressed in the
two-piece garment with an "amoeba" camouflage pattern dating from
1937-38, worn over the standard 1943 field uniform and pilotka field
cap. Armed with the German MP40 (captured from the enemy) and the PPS-43
sub-machine guns, the rest of the equipment is minimal: binoculars
(also often captured from the German opponents), ammo pouches, a Tokarev
pistol in its holster, and a map case. The "amoeba" pattern camouflaged
coverall was a loose fitting cotton garment, very baggy, with a large
hood, intended to be worn by special forces, notably scouts, snipers,
engineer scouts and mountain troops. It was produced in several shades
of black or dark brown printed in large rounded splotches over a green
or khaki background.
