    Hi Jeff,

    Any thought about doing more 1:35 scale figures?

    Phenomenal stuff; thank you, Jeff. If this is part 1, how many more figures are to come, please?

    Hi Gedmagpie,
    Thanks for your question! I don't have any plan for more 1:35th this moment, but I'm not sure will start this scale again in the near future.

    I really love this pair, they're excellently done.
    As I've done a bit of research on the Fallschirmjäger recently, one detail troubles me slightly, though. The R.Z. 16 parachute sits too low down (probably easily fixed by gluing it a tad higher). Here's what it should look like:

    Really excited about all those German paras in jump gear.

    Cheers

    Karl,

    Thank you for the excellent image; do you have one of the jump smock represented here, please?

    Jeff,

    Sorry for the dumb questions... had I stopped and read your post first, I would have known there were going to be five figures over three releases...

    Hi Jeff,

    They are wearing the "M40" jump smock, shown here in all its glory:

    Perfect, Karl; thank you again for that.

    Lovely work as always Jeff. Promises to be a super set and quite a coincidence as I’m writing this on holiday in Crete. Hoping to visit some of the relevant places relating to Operation Mercury.
