These ones were black primed for some months and were quickly finished upon the arrival of the latest RFR The Road to Carentan booklet from Masters Colin and Richard. In this batch I added some cute resin prints offered by Pedro Pato of MiniGeneral 3d. The rank and file are the usual Revell and Esci figures as I´m out of SHQ minis.
Three resin printed Cushman scooters are a beauty with all being different. One will go to each battalion for liaison purposes or, if not necessary, to look good on the table.
The 3d resin Pack 75mm gun comes with three beautiful figures.
The 3d resin 57mm AT gun comes with three other lovely crew, again all different. Only one gun is missing to complete the Para AT battalion as this one is the fifth 57mm of this group.
The Bazookas are Hasegawa and Revell (the closest one). The No2 are Revell with repositioned M1 carbines and Hasegawa Bazooka rounds.
Again the Revell tripods of the 30. cals. were turned into bipods with added plastic stocks.
Together with the OP stand the radio was added to the back of the Thompson armed figure.
The 81mm mortar and main operator comes from Esci US infantry. With some extra GreenStuff on the uniform and equipment he could join the airborne. The 60mm mortar is made of pieces of plastic.
Next: more aircraft for the US airborne.
