Interesting although it has to be said that the drop-containers are the stars of this batch of releases. I don't really see the point of the seated figures since those included by Bronco are so good in their own right - IMO, a touch superfluous....

The Para kit will be a useful set as it combines a number of items currently only available individually. I like the parachutes, handy if and when the MB transport planes/gliders become available.
I take Jim's point about the Driver but if you're building other than the current Bronco offerings he should still be useful. I have the RAMC Airborne Jeep to build and he looks like he should fit the bill nicely.
Good to see more British offerings.

Yeah, but...Daragon's SAS Jeep needs a crew. Volstadt added a crew in the box art, but apparently Dragon had different ideas.

Never knew tht DML had actually done the late SAS jeep - I remember seeing the desert versión, but haven't seen he NW Europe one...
I imagine that this'll be one of the next versions from Bronco?

It's a bit disappointing. Nice jeep, etc. But Dragon chose to include the old set of SAS/Paras with it. No driver figure. Dragon's getting too lazy to sculpt new figs!
