German Paras " Montecassino"

[Arthur]

Yup, they're wonderful

Beautiful paint jobs. They'd really work for any mid-late war Fallschirm the way you've painted them as there is nothing about their kit (at least that I can see) that I see that makes them specific to Monte Cassino. If you'd wanted to do them specifically for that battle you might have added some tropical gear or even some Italian camo. Also, I don't think that would have had any fausts there.

Terrific paint jobs, and the basing is especially effective too. I really have to get some of these!

Really very nice figures.
Excellent painting.
Would you use them for Crete?
Too nice of figures, not to.

Proud to say that these figures were my commission  Of course I agree with the many compliments paid to Rafa 
axabrax - you're right, no panzerfausts at Cassino. But this particular platoon will serve in various places including Normandy. It's one figure you're talking about in any case  With regard the summer or tropical gear you really don't see it in the main Cassino fights. Of course the odd guy may have sported his desert field cap or what have you, but I went through dozens of pictures when commissioning Rafa and this was 'the look', especially in the 3rd and 4th battles of Cassino. It was pretty cold during those months and I guess everyone went back to their warmer gear.


Marine0846 - I would very much like to game some Crete actions but I think the uniform buffs will tell you that was a different look, with the green para smocks, no MG42 machine guns and so on. It all depends how particular you are!

Hi Eclaireur
You are quite right about the uniforms at Crete and those worn later.
That really does not bother me.
I love Perry figures, like the Paras a lot.
What is one to do, what to pick.
So many great figures.
