Nice Job!! I like the US Paratroopers. They`re not assigned to any Unit? I see the Flag but no Force Insignia like the Eagle of the 101 Airborne.

Really nice! My next Projekt for Wargaming in WW2 are US Para`s too ^^

I must find the way to paint the force insignia ! The figures are quite little and thus it's difficult fo me to have a fine insigna painted.
If tou have an idea or technic to paint it, I'm interesting !

First comes the Question, which Force do you want to paint? The 82. Airborne or the 101. Airborne?

(I will paint parts of the 101. Division, the famous (506.)"Easy Company" ^^, easyly to identyfy cause of the white "Pik As" on the Helmets )

The Insignia of the 101. Division is "Old Abe", the worldwide famous screaming Eagle.



This shoulderpatch was quite big, so it isn`t to difficult to paint it on the left shoulders.
For the Command Groups of the 101. Airborne use this special Insignias:



Much harder to paint is the Insignia of the 82. Airborne, which was not so big:



I will try to create a photo Tutorial about painting the insignias! Then i will post it here.

Nice Models but for me thats enough. I do not Paint Insignia on my Models.
Thats to much for my old eyes, oh and I Collect Germans and that will bring some Trouble here in Germany with some kinds of Insignia...
