It is good to hear that there will be a PIAT and Artillery piece. Ipersonally think these are iconoc of Arnhem. I am looking forward to seeing them.

Actually he was father in law to Jeremy Clarkson,who being so proud of his exploits made a BBC programme about his VC win a couple of years back.Apparently Cain was incredibly brave and inspirational to his men.He also had a loathing for German tanks and knocked out several and several SPG's during the Arnhem battle.

Will there be a new Bren gun carrier for the Market Garden range

 

[jazzeum]

It's a definite possiblity in my opinion but we won't find out until much later in the year.

I hope there is some new German armor for this series. Some halftracks and late war Stugs would be awesome!!

Wahoo! Here's to spending the kid's inheritance!
I'm gonna die poorer in cash, but richer in toy soldiers.

Those are some outstanding pieces. I was just watching A Bridge Too Far last night and there are hald a dozen poses here that could have been lifted straight out of the initial bridge assault.

Superb work.

Just grabbed my first figure from this range over the weekend. I got MG010- the radioman. What a superb line of figures- had only seen the Recce jeep prior to this weekend. I knew in the pictures that these guys were fantastic and to see them in real life is just a treat- the guy behind me went and bought up all of George's remaining MG figures so I wasn't able to snag anymore- he tried getting my radioman but that guy is deployed here on my table of operations.

Yeah, something about those Red berets and the forest cammies that just make these guys look great. Feel for the PIAT gunner wearing his beret- from what I understand, those things had a tremendous kick- might have wanted that helmet on for additional protection.

Well, those Red Devils look pretty tough but not so sure they measure up with the 101st or the 82nd all that well- I think they were too busy looking good instead of getting down to the business at hand- crushing the nazis Just kidding fellas

STANDS ALONE!!

Hey, if you gotta do it, do it in style!

They are great figures and I'll be completing this series. Glad you're hooked CC.

The British airborne uniform with the red beret and dennison smock is just about the sharpest out there IMO, Union Iron Brigade and FFL circa early 1900's (Beau Geste style) rank right up there too in my book..........
