This Dragon 1/35 scale set depicts German Fallschirmjager, the elite paratroopers of the Luftwaffe who spearheaded airborne operations from Crete in 1941 through to the desperate defensive battles of Normandy and Monte Cassino later in the war. Instantly recognisable by their distinctive rimless paratrooper helmets and voluminous jump smocks worn over standard uniform, these troops fought as some of the most respected infantry of the conflict. Dragon has sculpted the smock's characteristic bunched, baggy folds and the paratrooper's unique gear layout - thigh pouches, jump boots and slung MP40 or Kar98k - with the fine surface detail the brand is known for, giving each figure a convincing, battle-ready silhouette. The set provides several individually posed figures on grey styrene sprues, with separate weapons and equipment for a natural, unforced look, plus an instruction sheet covering assembly and uniform colour reference. These figures pair naturally with Dragon's German armour and soft-skin vehicle kits for a Normandy or Italian-front diorama, and will appeal to modellers who want accurately detailed airborne infantry to anchor a WWII display.
