Had the Skybow/AFV Club ¾ ton Dodge truck on my shelf in a half finished state and needed something for it to tow. The new M55 from Dragon seemed a good choice so I got me one on a business trip in Paris. The M55 is a quick and easy build. The only thing I did was to slightly modify the turret so it could still turn and the etched part hat to be slimmed (see PMMS for that: http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/dragon/dr6421.html)
(the guy who looks like he's wearing a french helmet is just not cleaned up properly...
)
Now the question is how to finish them. I was thinking the obvious choice would be an Airborne Division. As I couldn’t find any decent info on the use of the M55 I’m turning to the collective knowledge of the big A site...
Would such a combo be appropriate for the 101st AB in a spring '45 setting? I suppose it would be from the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment? Did the glider infantry also wear paratroopers uniforms and boots or the standard infantry gear (couldnt' find anything on that in my library)?
These are the figs I was planning to use:
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
