C-47 Aircraft names DDay

 C-47 Aircraft names DDay

At deadman’s corner there are a number of photos of aircraft names that flew in units of the 101st, hopefully I can match some of these to pilots and aircraft numbers. 

Terrain Tuesday - American paratroopers

 Some plastic American paratroopers preparing to jump, from the plastic sets of the skytrain C47 I am planning to build this month. These chaps will be waiting at the door. 

Cheers

82nd Airborne Market Garden Plans

82nd Airborne Market Garden build 

I have commenced my 82nd airborne for the Arnhem campaign, I already have plastic US Airborne with a few metals for my Market Garden Airborne troops. I have a mix of Alder and SGTs Mess plus various artillery bits mostly in the support pieces.

This build will be specific 82nd metal Alder figures for the replacement of the plastic figures in the battalions. I also plan to add correctly marked jeeps, a supply drop area for Groosbek and a new glider artillery battery, plus a AB metal Glider battalion in normal US greens, three Waco gliders also need to be built too. 

Cheers

Matt
