Larger scale figure kits offer increased scope for painting, allowing modellers to focus on facial detail, texture, and weathering effects that reflect harsh battlefield conditions. The figure is designed with a natural stance, making it suitable for both standalone display and inclusion in a wider diorama scene.

The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between 1942 and 1943, was one of the largest and most brutal battles of the Second World War. German forces, including the 6th Army, were engaged in intense urban combat against Soviet troops, facing severe conditions, supply shortages, and constant resistance. Non-commissioned officers such as Oberfeldwebel played a key role in maintaining unit cohesion and leading soldiers in difficult circumstances. This figure reflects that period, offering a representation of frontline leadership during a pivotal moment in the Eastern Front campaign.
