Hi Folks,

Now available from Mitches Military Models.

Superbly designed by Ariel Genaro and printed by Tommi Worton.

120mm Brécourt Manor Assault, 101st Airborne Division, June 6th 1944

The Brécourt Manor Assault took place on June 6, 1944, during the D-Day invasion of Normandy. It was a small but pivotal action carried out by a paratrooper unit from Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. Led by First Lieutenant Richard Winters, a group of about 12 men was tasked with neutralizing a German artillery position near Brécourt Manor, which was firing on Utah Beach.

Winters and his team executed a textbook small-unit assault against a heavily fortified position manned by the German 6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment. Using flanking tactics and coordinated attacks, they methodically destroyed four 105mm howitzers and killed or captured many German soldiers. Despite being outnumbered, Easy Company secured the position in under an hour, significantly reducing German artillery fire on the beach.

This multi part resin kit depicts the taking of one of the 105mm Guns by Easy Company. The kit also includes alternate arms with 101st and 82nd Airborne insignia.

Beautifully done, and great value at £150. I'm just not sure about the spacing of the rivets on the gun...

As you say this is fabulous and as for the rivets, there are loads of resin rivet sets available (MENG MODEL do them in all scales and are as cheap as chips) so if there are any perceived accuracy issues as you see it, then it's an evening's work (tops) to shave them off and add / reposition/ delete as you prefer.
