B is for Black Heads!

One of those little gap-fillers which are satisfying to track-down, but which are also a bit daft? Toward the end of their existence Timpo did a five-figure (I think it was five?) boxed-set of German Infantry, some of which got a black helmet rather than the usual grey body-matched one.

Being Timpo the head is removable, so you can - if you only have one - chose who wears it and I've stuck it on an officer, it came with a grenade-thrower sans weapons! The thing is; apart from the Liebstandart AH on parade, or post-war fire-service, no one used gloss-black helmets! It would have been better if they'd done the alternate helmets in GI-green, or that 'dunkel-gleb' sand used by the FFL?

Officer's conference; less Von Stauffenberg and his little suitcase! On the left the earlier figure with separate helmet, then the over-moulded version with red hair and finally the black-domed chap.

Opps! I spoke too soon. looks like it's all going to get a bit messy in the bunker and we're not talking beer-cans and tourist's knickers!
