Glider Infantry - Adler 20mm

These models depict British Air landing troops that in terms of boots on the ground, hard fighting and casualties suffered provided an essential element in Airborne operations.

From special operations like the seizing of bridges across the Orne on D-Day to the bringing in of heavy weapons the unsung members of the Air Landing Brigades are often overlooked and underappreciated.

The figures are depicted in the Denison smock and Bergen rucksack, in order to provide greater variety, the heads are separate. Helmeted heads and heads wearing Berets are offered for sale (BLH1 & BLH2)

Some uniform notes: The Denison smock came in two versions by 1944 the Mk II was the version in widespread use. Many wearers converted these to have knitted cuffs like the Mk I and some Officers had full length zips installed so some of these variations will be seen on the figures. Not all heads will fit or suit all bodies so dry fit before gluing
