Shoulder boards for Armor Personnel, DAK Afrika Korps
Item #AR99054F
1/35 scale
$11.95 USD
With Pink for armor troops. Comes with enough for over forty figures. Comes with detailed placement instructions.
NOTE: This is one of those grey areas between what was supposed to happen and what did. As German 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. The rank should also have been DAK-correct, but the DAK version was not always available, so there are numerous examples of temperate clothing rank badges (shoulder boards) applied.
(Requires AR99052F and helmet insignias AR99044 to complete uniform.)
