The officers give good variety, particularly the observation "V" binoculars which is a classic for a higher command base, one per pack, but with three other officer types make a very useful four in the pack (one shown below, you can spot the other two in the First German Platoon).
The only omission for a complete OoB is the lack of a mortar unit, which I will make up from a metal manufacturer (SHQ and I think Drew's Militia in my case). As I mentioned earlier painting the plastic figures has a very different feel to the metals, namely the flatter feel to the detailing and less voluminous feel to the figure. The Revell boys show off their stuff below:
I think we are about ready to cook (as in all the figures are ready for it) with that first Cross Fire Normandy scenario I was mentioning (when I get to play it is another matter).

Good stuff. The Revell set is a favourite of mine. If you want a compatible mortar team to go with those Revell figures, I can heartily recommend the Pegasus mortar set as the figures have the same "style" and look.
Muchas Gracias :)
I will keep a look out in my local modal store.
Very nice painting mate. I too would recommend the Pegasus set, 80 & 120mm in the same box. Keep up the good work.

Love 'em Geordie, the poses in particular with this set are excellent. I am looking forward to painting mine up.
Any idea where compatible(ish) HMG teams can be found?
I'm looking out for the recommended Pegasus sets, I have a set of 1939 Germans which contain a HMG but I cannot see a mortar tube. I will have to Google ;)
Cheers mate!
