British Airborne Section, work their way through the streets of Arnhem. As Frost said in the movie A Bridge Too Far, "I think we may be wearing the wrong camouflage. It's all very good in the country but, I don't think it will fool anyone in the towns".

Excellent painting, love them.
Always like the British Para's uniforms.
I just don't like painting them. :D
Have a ton of them in the unpainted lead pile.
