Dragon Models Plastic Model Kit
Obersturmbannführer Totenkopf Division (Budapest 1945) (1/16)
This 1/16 scale figure kit from Dragon Models represents a German Obersturmbannführer during the fighting in Budapest in 1945. The figure depicts a senior officer from the late stages of the Second World War, reflecting the uniforms and equipment used during the final months of conflict in Eastern Europe. As part of the 1/16 plastic kit range, it offers a larger format that allows for enhanced detailing and finishing work.
The model is sculpted with attention to uniform detail and overall presentation, capturing the appearance of a high-ranking officer in a realistic pose. Larger scale figure kits provide increased surface area for painting, allowing modellers to work on facial expression, fabric texture, and subtle weathering effects. The proportions and stance are designed to give a natural look once assembled, making it suitable for standalone display or use within a detailed diorama.
This figure offers an opportunity to explore late-war subjects, where uniform variations and battlefield conditions often differed from earlier periods. It is well suited to modellers interested in historical military figures, particularly those focusing on the closing stages of WWII in Europe.

The Battle of Budapest in 1944 to 1945 was one of the final major engagements on the Eastern Front, as Soviet forces encircled and fought to capture the Hungarian capital. German and allied units were tasked with defending the city under increasingly difficult conditions. Officers of this rank were responsible for coordinating units and maintaining command during intense urban combat. This figure reflects that period, representing the leadership roles present during one of the last large-scale battles in Europe before the end of the war.
