This is a plastic toy minifigure designed to represent a German Luftwaffe Aircraft Mechanic (Flugzeugmechaniker) from the World War II period.
The Uniform and Equipment: The figure is wearing a one-piece work uniform, known as a coverall or jumpsuit, which was practical for ground crew and mechanics. The color is a very specific “Luftwaffe blue-grey” (Fliegerblau), which was standard for most Luftwaffe personnel, including non-flying staff.
- Torso Details: Printed on the front of the torso is a high level of detail. On the figure’s left breast is the iconic Luftwaffe Eagle (Luftwaffenadler), the national emblem worn by all German air force personnel. The printing also shows a dark collar, a vertical line representing a zipper, and several pockets, including a smaller breast pocket on the right side. There are also printed lines and shadows to simulate creases and folds in the fabric, giving it a more realistic, worn look. The back of the torso continues this detail with a printed central seam.
- Legs and Boots: The blue-grey coveralls continue down the legs. The lower part of the legs is printed black to represent a pair of sturdy black leather work boots. The printing includes subtle grey details on the front to simulate laces, adding to the visual accuracy.
The Figure’s Head and Hair: The figure has a standard minifigure head with a printed face. The expression is serious and focused, with defined eyebrows and small lines under the eyes. The hair is a separate, molded piece of dark brown plastic, styled in a short, wavy manner.
