Nemrods US Para with grease gun?

[Uruk-Hai]

Hello Figureteers!

Well Ive bought this figure the other day to practise painting with acrylics upon.
However Im not certain where all the equipment should go thus having only the picture of the box as reference and Im not even sure if everything supplied should be used?

Id also could do with a picture of the folding butt of the grease gun. Could anyone sort this dilemma out for me?

Try http://www.101airborneww2.com/ Trigger Time is arguably one of the best WW2 sites out there.

Pete's right, that is a very good site for your subject. It has several photos that could answer your questions. The figure as supplied looks like he just got rid of his jump gear. If you want to depict a paratrooper who has been on the ground a few days you can drop some of the stuff.

Thanks for the answers, fellows.

Sorry not to have replied earlier but the internet connection at home is down and at work I rarely have time to wipe the sweat out of my forehead at the time being.

Cheers

506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division

Another incredible information came from MIrage Hobby figure. You can access this information in the next link:
