Dragon 1/6 Military - British Airborne 'Red Devil' (Arnhem 1944) - D1606

In September 1944, the British 1st Airborne Division dropped near Arnhem as part of Operation Market Garden, tasked with seizing the road bridge over the Rhine. Cut off and heavily outnumbered, the division held out for nine days against German armour and infantry in one of the most famous last stands of the war, earning its soldiers the nickname 'Red Devils' from German troops in reference to their distinctive maroon berets.

This 1/6 scale figure captures a British paratrooper of the Arnhem battle in exhaustive detail, with individually sculpted webbing, weapons and Denison smock equipment reproduced to accurately represent the specialist kit carried by airborne troops of the period. The large 1/6 scale allows Dragon to render facial features, fabric texture and equipment straps with a level of realism not possible in smaller scales.

The set includes multiple accessory and weapon parts allowing the figure to be posed and equipped to the modeller's preference, along with detailed assembly instructions.

A striking collector's piece for anyone interested in the airborne forces of World War II, this figure stands as a fitting tribute to the men who fought at Arnhem bridge.
