Beautifully done! Not an easy thing to depict in 1/35th scale either. We share a lot of the same interests in eras and subjects my friend.

Hi Mike, thanks for the kind comment. You can see more pitctures of it here:

Excelent ! This is the best parachute I have ever seen ! How did You do it ?

Hi Robert sorry for my delete . Many people asked me the same : I used a light transparent paper and I have to try several times before I find the way to keep the typical round form.
I painted light green and the camouflage of 2 colours spots, then fixed all colours with several coats of transparent spray. The green lines are exactly 28, as regulation at the time of WW 2 Normandy operation.
Thank you

Cheers Maximo. I'll give that thread a reading.

Very cool, the parachute is fantastic. My friend John G's father, Frank, jumped into Normandy with the 502nd PIR. Frank was seriously wounded in action shortly after jumping into Holland. Frank would have appreciated this representation of a trooper landing in France on the night of 5/6 June 1944. He was a humble man, never saying much about his service. Thank you for the work you put into this subject.
Best regards,
John
