US Army Infantry (Winter) Platoon

As the US Army advanced through France towards Germany, they encountered not only fierce German resistance but also increasingly harsh weather. The winter of 1944/45 was very cold in Northwest Europe, and the GIs fighting desperate battles in the forests during the Battle of the Bulge found that the weather was almost as much an enemy as the opposing troops. Digging into the frozen ground became incredibly difficult, and the men were grateful for every piece of winter clothing they could get their hands on.

This box contains everything you need to build 30 US Army infantrymen in winter uniforms, ideal for representing the men who fought in the icy conditions of the Battle of the Bulge. Each sprue includes:

• Six dynamically posed bodies in thick winter coats.
• Twelve unique head variants, including helmets with camouflage covers and nets.
• A wide selection of weapons, including the iconic M1 Garand rifle, Thompson and "Grease Gun" submachine guns, Bazooka anti-tank rocket launchers, and Springfield sniper rifle - and more!
• Lots of additional details, including binoculars, canteens, ammunition pouches, rifle grenades, and much more.

US forces are fantastically easy to paint, and these men in their long winter coats are no exception. With just a few colours, you can quickly and easily bring your collection to life on the tabletop, and the great details on these plastic sprues offer a fantastic opportunity to showcase your painting skills!
