Time to Horse Around!

[Les]

Hello everyone, it's time to stop horsing around and get to building something! My entry into this Buddy Build will be Tamiya's 1/35 Scale "Wehrmacht Mounted Infantry Set."







Background:

The German Army entered World War II with 514,000 horses, and over the course of the war employed in total 2.75 million horses and mules; the average number of horses in the Army reached 1.1 million.

Most of these horses were employed by foot infantry and horse-drawn artillery troops that formed the bulk of the German Army throughout the war. During the war German cavalry units increased in numbers from a single brigade to a larger but still limited force of six cavalry divisions and two corps HQ.



The Kit:

The kit consists of two small parts trees, made of white plastic. The instructions consist of one small sheet with print on both sides.











I'm looking forward to having a little bit of fun with this, and I hope that you will too!

Weird to me to think of so many horses being used in an age of cars and planes.
