1/35 U.S Paratrooper ‘’Bazooka’’ Marching (Normandy 1944) No.4

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 U.S. Paratrooper “Bazooka” Marching (Normandy 1944) No.4 captures the determined advance of American airborne troops during the Normandy campaign. After dropping behind enemy lines on D-Day, these soldiers pushed through hedgerows and villages, carrying vital anti-tank weapons like the M1 Bazooka. This figure represents one of those men — a paratrooper advancing cautiously with his launcher slung over his shoulder, embodying the resilience and preparedness of the Allied assault forces.

Figure Details & Realism

This high-quality resin figure depicts a paratrooper from the 101st or 82nd Airborne Division, equipped with an M1 Bazooka and full combat gear. The sculpt highlights the texture of the M42 jump uniform, the fine strapping of his gear, and the determined stride of a soldier moving forward through hostile terrain. The attention to detail in his weaponry and facial expression allows modelers to bring the fatigue and focus of a WWII soldier to life.

Diorama & Display Use

Ideal for Normandy or D-Day-themed dioramas, this marching Bazooka figure can be paired with other paratroopers from the same series to form a realistic column of advancing troops.

Whether used as a standalone display or within a full tactical scene, this figure adds power and authenticity to any WWII model environment.

Material & Customization

Cast in premium resin, the figure offers sharp detailing and ease of assembly. Modelers can enhance the realism by weathering the uniform, adding mud to boots, or customizing the Bazooka with metallic finishes. Painting possibilities range from standard olive drab schemes to personalized markings, allowing creators to match the figure’s appearance to specific historical units or environments.

Who It’s For
