Plastic Figure Kit No. 6156
The Dragon 1:35 Panzer Riders (Lorraine 1944) is a finely detailed plastic figure set depicting German infantry riding on armored vehicles during the late stages of World War II. Set during the fighting in the Lorraine region of France in 1944, this kit captures the gritty realism and urgency of German armored infantry operations on the Western Front.
Kit Overview
This figure set includes multiple 1:35 scale components molded in high-quality plastic. The figures are sculpted with historically accurate uniforms, equipment, and dynamic poses that convey movement and battlefield realism. Designed to be mounted on tanks or armored vehicles, these figures are ideal for enhancing armor models or creating detailed diorama scenes.

Historical Context
During the Lorraine campaign in late 1944, German armored units often transported infantry on tanks and assault guns to maintain mobility under constant Allied pressure. This figure set accurately represents that practice, making it ideal for historically grounded World War II scenes.
Display and Diorama Use
These figures are well suited for placement on 1:35 scale German tanks, self-propelled guns, or armored personnel carriers. They add movement, scale reference, and narrative interest to static vehicle models and are equally effective in full dioramas or compact vignette displays.
Summary
The Dragon 6156 Panzer Riders (Lorraine 1944) figure set is an excellent addition for modelers seeking to enhance World War II German armor builds. With dynamic poses, detailed sculpting, and strong historical context, it provides visual realism and storytelling value to any late-war Western Front project.
