WWII Airborne NCO

I recently bought a very nice Cotswold WWII enlisted figure from a buddy. It’s a great fig that they put out years ago, but the fact that it came in jump boots always bothered me; as he wasn’t officially a paratrooper. So, I decided to equip him properly. The NCO stripes and division shoulder insignia is battlegear toys, jump wings and CIB are 21st, the cap patch is a printout on double sided tape. I eyeballed the size, but it’s very close to the DiD officers version. The Ike jacket has a tendency to ride up, like the actual jacket. Here he and his fellow Ike-jacket wearing Glider Pilot ponder the end of the war. Enjoy!

Those are two great figures Nate .. bravo. Some great bashing to get him looking just right...Imagine having got through the ETO , and to be waiting on orders to see if you were about to be shipped to Japan !!

I really like the height difference between the two figures .. v realistic .

Excellent figures and improvements!

excellent work Nate!

They both look good , I like what you did and bothered to do with the extra insignia .

Thanks for the kind words gents!

I think the WWII Airborne NCO outfits look so perfect, clean and tidy. Liking the head sculpts.
