On D-Day, 6 June 1944, US Army Rangers spearheaded some of the most daring assaults of the Normandy landings, most famously scaling the sheer cliffs of Pointe du Hoc under fire to knock out German coastal guns. Dragon's 1/35 U.S. Rangers set depicts these elite assault troops in the thick of the Normandy campaign.
The figures wear correct 1944 US infantry combat gear, including M1 helmets, M1928 haversacks and Ranger-pattern webbing, sculpted with crisp fabric folds and equipment detail typical of Dragon's figure engineering. Interchangeable heads and weapon arms give modellers freedom to build dynamic, varied poses.
Supplied in grey styrene with full assembly and painting instructions, the set is scaled to combine with Dragon's Normandy-era vehicles, landing craft and beach-obstacle accessories.
A strong choice for anyone building a D-Day or Normandy beachhead diorama, capturing one of the most celebrated units of the European campaign.
