"Luftwaffe Field Division jagers finished" Topic

Hi guys

I managed to paint 2 sections of Jagers for my Luftwaffe field division project, the project is loosely based on the 16th Luftwaffe field division, which is a companion project for the 21st Pz Div, they fought side by side in Normandy, and were merged together after the battle, but I also want them to be able to represent any of the various division, by Normandy, due to the very poor performance of these divisions, (which was mainly due to poor training, morale and equipment, they were very weak divisions, for instance their recon battalion was an under strength unit of bicycle troops) control had been handed over to the Heer, and the field blue uniforms were being replaced by field grey, so there was a mix of field blue and field grey items, however I have gone for the more idealistic look of Luftwaffe field blue uniforms to stand them apart from Heer troops. Due to the uniform colour, they relied heavily on camouflaged items and painted their helmets.

Very nicely done!

A lovely lot of targets, mate. :-)

Fuse VT

Fire mission battery. Smoke in adjust, VT in effect, five rounds fire for effect?

Shot over

One of my favorite late war Superman units. Although, I will admit, I prefer Volkstrum.

Shot out. Splash, over.

Those look great, Gunner!

For whatever reason I love these Luftwaffe units
