British Paratroopers - Sneak Peek (2 Viewers)

[jazzeum]

Here are the long awaited British Paras. Though for Normandy, they can be used for Market Garden. They look superb!

Very nice! I shall be adding these when they are released. {sm4}

[BHogan]

Agreed! Those jump smocks are very well done!

wow!!, love the action/ firing poses. hopefully we will have this before the summer. plus Normandy Armour for both sides...

 

[graycap]

These look great - the Denison smocks in particular. A Sten Mk IV might have been a bit more appropriate but we can live with that. Look forward to future figures perhaps some wearing berets. Also some support weapons such as a PIAT and a Bren Gunner but please let it be accurate not like the aweful 8th Army Bren gunner figure.

Looking very nice, should be very popular with ww2 collectors.

The Sten MKIV was first used at Arnham , these figures are for Normandy so the Sten gun is correct

I should have said Sten Mk V which was used in Normandy.

These really look FANTASTIC. I know a certain fellow FL collector from England who must be overjoyed with these, he's been asking forever and waiting very patiently:salute:::salute::. **** fine figures

Here's another photo. They look even better than the other photo.

The release date appears to be June.

 

[spartan71]

I gotta have all three already, and more than likely there will be more. Can hardly wait for June to come.

 

[Vezzolf]

They look GOOD...I hope that we see at least 8 total.{sm4}....And definitely 3 with "red berets":salute:::salute::

 

[Lo1863]

Like I said, I shall be adding these for sure! Where did you find out about the possible release date being June?

 

[villagehorse]

They certainly look nice. Looking forward to seeing them in a diorama setting. Robin.

Matt posted the information on the Hobby Bunker forum. I said it "appears to be June" but I'm not sure that's a solid date.

Anyway, they do look very good.

A release date of 6th June would be good and appropriate!

 

[jazzeum]

Some more photos. June 6 is Monday so here's hoping for news.

 

[Lo1863]

They will be added to my Normandy collection for sure!

They will be added to my Normandy collection for sure!

Interesting one of them carrying a Sten gun MkV which was not used till Market Garden
