This is the standard Kar 98k bayonet that comes with the
figure. The Bayonet for Kar 98k
This is the standard Kar 98k bayonet that comes with the
figure.
It can be removed from the scabbard ( and I guess it will fit the Kar 98k Rifle that comes with the Infantry Soldier) .
It slides into the Entrenching tool but in real it comes with a frog (thanks mr. Jim Woods) but it's not included so (ofcourse) I decided to build one of my own.
To
make it , I used the same material as on the Y-belt
This is how it looks when the bayonet is inserted, but ofcourse it's not
finished ....
Now
it's complete. I added the little "retaining belt" to secure the bayonet, and as
usual, I painted the stiches white.
In addition, I painted the handgrip of the bayonet in a "chocolate" color. The material officialy used was called "bakelit" which was the predecessor of plastic, but some bayonets were equiped with real wooden handgrips.
I don't know why Dragon forgot to make the frog cause everything else seems to be complete on the figure.
Then , ofcourse , customizers like me would be out of a job..... and where would the fun be then.........................
