Polizeitruppe: Deployment of German Colonial Police Forces, May 1914



The figures shown here are Airfix Japanese infantry, converted
to German East-African Polizei-Askari. The steel helmet has
been carved into a pillbox cap. Other Japanese figures wearing
a field cap with neck flap may be converted in a similar fashion.
The advantage of using the Airfix Japanese figures is that they
already wear the proper type of puttie.
