Hi Guys

I have a set of 4 Tamiya Paratroopers that I am racking my brains what to do with. I want to place them into some setting, but cannot think of a thing. Well I can but they are very bland. As I am new to this can anyone give me some ideas?

Cheers

Mike

Which set?

A few ideas are to scratch build a C47 during deployment on the tarmac.

How about putting them is a hedgerow/bushes gathering up gear from drop canisters.

How about pre D-Day inspection of the fake decoy paratroopers that were dropped?

Scratch build a C-47? Ya that sounds simple. LOL. I like Slodders idea of them picking up equipment in the hedgerows, sounds pretty good, You could also have them hiding in the rows with maybe a German 88 or somthing close, sort of like BOB's scenerio.



Herky

Mike are these American or German Paratroopers from Tamiya that you got?

Mike,

Are these Germans or Americans? I don't recall Tamiya making U.S. Paratroops, but I could be wrong - it's happened before.

If German, there are lots of possibilities - in the rubble of Monte Casino, as a blocking force in the Bocage, the landing on Crete or Norway, etc.

It would depend to some degree on the specific uniforms, but I'm not up on the different smocks and such.

whoops sorry guys they are german WW2 paratroopers

cheers

Gotcha - is it the one with the guy on his stomach holding up a pistol?
If so you could do a field with an empty used 'chute and these guys along a hedge row having just landed. Maybe a civilian on a bike or a cow in the field.....
