Following Will's suggestion, I painted up some DAK figures in a mix of DAK colours and more conventional field grey uniforms. These guys would work for Tunisia, Sicily and southern Italy, as well as the Balkans and Adriatic, and maybe even the southern USSR.
Figures are a mix of Esci, Italeri, Revell, Airfix and Caesar.
First up a 6 man platoon command group.
Field grey jacket and tropical shorts.
Tropical jacket, just grey helmet.
Officer in tropical jacket and grey trousers.
Revell SMG in field grey jacket.
Bendy barrel Caesar rifleman.
First section of 5 rifleman (on left) and 3 man MG34 team. Mix of tropical and temperate uniform and kit.
Rifle section.
MG34 team.
I quite like the look of the figures, so will finish the platoon and probably add a second, which would use up the last of my spare DAK figures.
As ever, thanks for looking and thanks to Will for the suggestion.
Great idea from Will and very nicely executed Mr C. They look great and very useful for a number of Theatres including Andreivia :-)

Thanks Mr P, I think they could work as Andreivian militia or phalangists, or as a German intervention force.
