Nice looking figures. 👍🏻

I know it says winter, but is the pointing paratrooper’s uniform and gear perhaps suitable for France (Lorraine) around September 1944?

Hi i found very interesting these three us figures in this german modelling market, its interesting too the idea to sell the figures with building or each figure as single kit....i ll buy them for sure and appreciate so much the other new kit with three british desert figures....i have only a doubt on the US figure in the middle..his tan jacket with breast pokets........i remember that the us gi have in stock the tan SHORT jackets but without breast pokets isnt it? bY the way i ll buy the us figures becouse i like the idea of winter us figures.
I hope that in near future project do you ll have same us gi 2ww as sherman tank riders...!!!!

Interesting set.

That said, while the BAR gunner in the greatcoat looks good, I have serious reservations about the other two figures' uniforms.

The guy with the carbine labelled as a "Paratrooper" doesn't really look like a paratrooper except for the Corcoran jump boots. His uniform appears to be a mix of M1943 field jacket with incorrect lower pockets (the pockets were internal and only the closing flap was visible) with trousers that look more like late M1942 HBT fatigue trousers than paratrooper-modified M1943 trousers.

As for the "Private 90th Infantry Division", I have no idea what he's wearing. Even though it is shown here in tan color, his jacket is definitely not a Parsons, aka M1941 field jacket. As for his trousers, again, they look like late M1942 HBT trousers, but I don't unserstand why they have a seam in the front.

I know some will say I'm being harsh or that I'm nitpicking, but considering the price people pay for resin figures, one is entitled to expect them to be better, more accurate than stock plastic figures.

For what it's worth.
