German radio and medic team (1 Viewer)

Treefrog now has them online as well (man, let Mandi go on vacation for a week and the whole place falls apart:p).
Here is the link
I was really surprised the medic set was the same price as a regular four-figure set considering it has the dog and the accessories. Take advantage!

Hang in there Nasir! M-m-mmus-s-s-sttttt resis-s-s-s-stt!
 
now that HB is releasing classic germans, i hope they then proceed and have figures like the Whermacht General, German Pioneer, Reconnaissance team. :)

And later move on to late war version figures, such as the Panzerjagers and Volksgrenadier and Volkstrumm. :D

Hope you like them. I do! :D:D:D

Nope, not a chance. Also, the kneeling guy manning the radio is wearing the later war m43 cap. So they are a later war team.

But the walking guys are perfect for early war (right jack boots and cap), except for the square edged pockets on their tunics (should be scalloped/triangular for early war).

The other thing I was wondering about the later war team, is where is the battery to power the radio? With the walking guys, the guy in the back is carrying the radio pack, but with the kneeling trooper and officer, this component of the setup is missing. As far as I know this particular radio (the Torn fu d2) never had an internal battery so I wonder how this radio is functioning with no power. :confused:

CS,
You da man!! knew I could count on you, your knowledge is truly an asset to the forum.;)

I really need to read this stuff more carefully. CS you are the man. Where did you ever learn that much about the radios?
 
I collected 1/6th scale models of this and several other WW2 radios which forced me to do some research on them. At the larger scale you can really see the details and appreciate how sophisticated these radios were, they were the laptop computers of their time. Except for the battery issue on the one team it looks like Honour Bound has excellently reproduced the look of the Torn Fu in the much smaller 1/30 scale.

Here's a website with some pics of the Torn Fu radio system Honour Bound has made (mostly set up on a table): http://81.191.136.233/bilder/tornfud2/
