US Army WWII European Theatre of Operations.

Here are all of my ETO Joes.

The Parson's jacket was a howling omission form the original GI Joe and Action Man ranges. Over the years many one-sixth manufacturers produced this uniform item and finally in the '90s, Hasbro produced it twice (that I know of) , on a Field MP figure and on a despatch rider figure on a motorcycle.

It has always been a favourite kitbash item with me.

Here is how I used this jacket. These are all kitbashes where it is combined with mainly Hasbro/Palitoy kit with some items from Cotswold Collectibles.

From L-R: Soldier with grease gun, Officer, soldier with flamethrower and a field MP sporting helmet and boots from Cotswold..

The officer also comes equipped with his helmet for the combat zone.

Form L-R Medic with helmet and bags by Cotswold, Chaplain with all the clerical bits from One Sixth Scale King, Jeep Driver and Combat Engineer.

From L-R Communications Soldier, Beachmaster (US Navy personnel), not army, despite the uniform and another Combat Soldier

The inspiration for the Beachmaster kitbash.

Marvelously detailed group of GIs! They look great in all that khaki and olive drab, like in a scene out of The Battle of the Bulge.

Great seeing your excellent ETO figures! You have done a beautiful job on them and I really like your fidelity to the Hasbro/Palitoy/Cotswold parts. With just a dash of One Sixth Scale King.

cheers cheers cheers

Wonderful kit-bashing and meticulous attention to details.

Great stuff.
