Street Watch: 101st Airborne Patrol in Carentan

This set captures the wary tension of a squad moving through the shattered streets of Normandy. The 101st Airborne utilized a variety of specialized equipment to maintain mobility, including the compact, collapsible 'Welbike'—originally a British SOE design that found favor with paratroopers for rapid messenger duty. The figures are depicted in the M1942 reinforced jump suit, characterized by slanted pocket flaps and heavy canvas elbow/knee patches. The mix of weaponry and the inclusion of a motorized scout highlights the combined-arms nature of airborne reconnaissance. Each trooper is meticulously detailed with 'Screaming Eagle' shoulder patch outlines, netted M1 helmets, and the high-laced Corcoran jump boots that were the pride of the airborne divisions.\n\nThis high-detail resin set features 4 figures in tactical and mobile poses. The physical inventory consists of one standing rifleman with an M1 Garand, one paratrooper carrying a Thompson submachine gun, one standing trooper in a relaxed ready stance, and one paratrooper seated on a detailed 1/35 scale Excelsior Welbike small-profile motorcycle.
