The Feldgendarmerie was a field gendarmerie formation of the German army, responsible for maintaining discipline, controlling road traffic, and hunting down deserters and partisans. Its members were recognized by their specific insignia, such as service chains and chest plates (“Kettenhund”). Gendarmes were present on all World War II fronts, both in the West and East, and their presence commanded respect, but also fear among soldiers and civilians alike.

The 1:10 scale reconstruction allows reproduction of every detail – from folds of the uniform to precise insignia and the realistic facial expression and texture of equipment. We recommend this product to advanced modelers and collectors interested in the highest quality WWII busts. The difficulty level is rated at 4 out of 5 – the set requires precise assembling, puttying, and painting skills as well as knowledge of painting techniques, making the final result capable of impressing even the most demanding collectors.

Young Miniatures YM1801 Feldgendarmerie 1/10 is an excellent choice for military history enthusiasts, reenactors, and collectors of scale model busts. The figure works well as a diorama display element, a collector's shelf decoration, or as a competition painting project.
