Re: 101st Airborne, Operation Market Garden
excellent job on the weathering, and the headsculpt looks like a real character!
my only caveat is that the m42 uniform is much more appropriate for normandy... there are a few pictures showing some m42 jackets worn in holland, but the m43 uniform was worn by almost all us airborne by market garden.
cheers,
rob

Re: 101st Airborne, Operation Market Garden
Great figure, but reminds me more of a Normandy paratrooper, what with the M42 uniform. No telling what division he's from though....no shoulder flash.
And I suspect you left the helmet netting off so we could see that great looking helmet....right?

Re: 101st Airborne, Operation Market Garden
Thanks a lot for the info guys, I stand corrected on the Op. I may switch out his pants for M43 to make it correct.

The helmet marking indicates he is from the 2nd Bn 506th PIR 101st AB - of which E Company is the unit featured in "Band of Brothers".
504th PIR 82nd AB was (I think) the only unit to wear M42 uniforms in Holland. |

Yeah, I'm not sure of the proper designation, but I believe the 101st wore green para uniforms that were just darker than Marine dungarees. I am just going from memory here, but oh well.
In any event, that's a pretty nice trooper you've got! I love the detailing and weathering. Is it me, or are more and more people using Soldier Story's Mr. EOD as WWII figs?

Re: 101st Airborne, Operation Market Garden
101 in Op Market wore Green Jump unis. It depends not all did but a large number had green. If you do a glider "Version" They had goggles. Really its however you see fit. Looks cool either way. The 101 in WWII is my favorite so I make sure they look the best. Everyone will have a different POV but it looks cool nice job.
