I don't think there is anything in the Dragon set that makes it specific to Market Garden. They should be fine for Normandy.

Hi Tony,

As John says the Arnhem set should be fine for Normandy. For slings I use rolled lead wire. 0.04mm is about right for slings. Plus models do it .99p per packet, and I just flatten it with a wall paper roller.

i sense a pegasus bridge dio coming up real soon . as for the slings, gum wrapper foil, aluminum foil, lead foil, yogurt cup foil, anything that has foil is fine . if you want to go that extra mile, use really thin wire mesh and cut out a small piece of the wire to make the buckles and the metal ovals(spelling?) that held the slings.

If slings aren't included I just make the with small strips of paper soaked in modelling glue.
