1/35 Scale British Paratrooper Set with Welbike & Drop Tube (Arnhem 1944) by AK-Interactive

The fierce battle at Arnhem during Operation Market Garden (17-25 September 1944) in World War II remains etched in the memory of the British 'Red Devils'. The entire 1st Airborne Division, around 10,000 men, was tasked with seizing and holding the bridge at Arnhem in the Netherlands until the main allied force arrived. Unfortunately, the main attack halted, leaving the 'Red Devils' to fight unsupported. Paratroopers, some wielding only their combat knives, continued to fight until the final radio message: 'Out of ammunition. God save the King!' Ultimately, fewer than 1,000 British paratroopers defended one end of the bridge against heavy enemy attacks for twice the originally planned duration. This famous battle is commemorated in Dragon's new 1/35 scale figure set, 'Red Devils w/Welbike Drop Tube Container (Arnhem 1944)'. The box contains a premium edition set, utilizing previously released figures, but enhanced with a new Welbike, a compact British-designed motorcycle intended for covert operations. A total of 3,853 Welbikes were produced during World War II, many used in Operation Market Garden. The 1/35 scale model has been meticulously detailed and serves as a unique centerpiece for any diorama. The set includes four finely molded figures in combat poses, with ample personal equipment. It also comes with a parachute drop tube container. Modelers can now recreate this historic battle of the Parachute Regiment more dramatically with this Dragon figure set.
