A World War II signals operator sits at a small field table, one hand pressing a telegraph key while the other steadies his headphones. He wears an olive-drab service shirt and trousers with leather shoes and round wire spectacles, a compact field radio set on the table before him.

This seated figure is perfect for command-post, headquarters and communications dioramas of the 1940s. Add him to a tent, bunker or map-room scene, or a model railroad wartime depot, to bring authentic signals activity to the tabletop.
