Thanks for looking.
A quick study of a Fallschirmjager on Crete.
1/35 D-day miniatures, with Hornet head and Alpine arms. The drop canister and gas mask bag are from Dragon.
All painted in acrylics

Superb yet again mate.

Has anybody else ever wondered how different this hobby would be without Hornet heads?

Very nice and fine paint Paul. I'm not an expert on the modern age, so I'm just wondering what kind of thing is behind the soldier? Otherwise beautiful work really.

Cheers Borek

Its a drop canister. Falschirmjager jumped with the minimum of equipment, and had to collect these boxes form the DZ wile possibly under fire.
