Not sure where to post this so please move if it's in the wrong place.
With all the new British Airborne kits that are now available, you may be interested in this:

I only came across it today by chance but am hopeful.

Wasn't there a company making a model of the Pegasus bridge?

Found this a while back on PMMS: RP Models 1/35 Pegasus Bridge ... don't know if they're still around though.

The movie looks like it will be a must have for my movie collection. I looked at the Pegasus bridge on the RP Models link, but I dont see a price anywhere. Any idea guys on what the price is?? Best regards....Dale

Gobsmacked!! Finished reading Stephen Ambrose's book about Pegasus Bridge earlier today, thought to myself I wonder why they have never made a film about it? A couple of hours later I stumble across this!! This could be awesome!

hope this will help

I hope the film is as good as it has the potential to be, although the film crew seem to have a bit of a thing about having a StuG III roaming around, presumably becasue they have access to a reasonably good replica. There ere no StuG there though...

As has been mentioned, of late the models available for British and Canadian airborne subects surpasses anything I may have dreamed of only a few years ago.

Nice to see some recognition for the eastern flank..... a couple of years ago a friend of mine was on a bus from Paris heading for the invasion beaches... as the bus approached Troarn the 'historian' on board was speaking into the mic....

"So as we go through this area where not much happened on D-Day, let me tell you about....."

Man, as understanding as my wife is, if I spent that much on a model it had better be big enough for ME to live under... I don't see very many of them getting sold if it ever gets released.

Are those prices accurate? $2000 for all the parts (or thereabouts)? Wow... it better have a stop watch, guard and working parts for that kind of money!

End of January this year someone asked whether the Pegasus-Bridge has been canceled and received this answer:
Quote: "Hello Sir... In This moment We are developing another 1/35 projects... We are waiting some resin Tests to put the bridge not só heavy... I hope in This year will have the bridge on the market... Thank You Sir..."
So - anybodys guess...
