Elastolin - Luftwaffe

The Luftwaffe was represented on the parade ground by several different "personality" figures of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, and two series of marching figures: Flieger ("fliers") with yellow waffenfarbe ("arm of service color") and Flak ("anti-aircraft troops) with red waffenfarbe. Both branches were represented by several types of marching officers, marching enlisted personnel with rifles (some wearing the soft field cap, others wearing the iconic stahlhelm helmet), marching flag-carriers, and complete sets of marching and standing musicians.

The marching Fliegers also included an aircrewman wearing a beige "flight suit" instead of the blue Luftwaffe uniform.

Fliegers and Flak alike were also represented by standing (non-marching) officers and enlisted men.

The Luftwaffe also had combat troops. There were 28/664 series Flak-Artillerie crews and 28/590 Flak-Krad-Schutzen figures. These figures were the same as their Heer counterparts but with the distinctive blue-gray uniform of the Luftwaffe. Elastolin solf them sold for the same price as their Heer counterparts, but modern auction catalogs usually list them at higher prices and modern day collectors must therefore take care that any 28/664 and 28/590 figures they buy are not post-war repaints of the regular 664 and 590 figures.
