1/35 U.S Paratroopers Officers (Normandy 1944) Set

Historical Context & Theme

June 1944 marked one of the most pivotal moments of World War II—the D-Day landings in Normandy. This 1/35 U.S. Paratroopers Officers Set captures the intensity and leadership of the men who led the charge from the skies. Depicting two Airborne officers coordinating movements on the ground, the set embodies the bravery, strategy, and determination that defined Operation Overlord. Whether you are building a diorama of the Normandy countryside or a command post scene, this duo symbolizes the essence of Allied leadership during the liberation of France.

Figure Details & Realism

This set includes two highly detailed figures sculpted with precision to reflect authentic 1944 U.S. paratrooper uniforms—complete with M42 jump suits, map cases, and field gear. One officer is shown confidently giving directions, while the other studies a map, assessing the tactical situation. Both figures include alternate heads, offering a choice of facial expressions and helmet configurations for added realism. Fine details in the folds of the clothing, facial features, and accessories provide an exceptional painting surface for experienced modelers.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for Normandy or general WWII Airborne dioramas, these figures can be positioned in front of vehicles, behind hedgerows, or alongside infantry units. They naturally fit into command scenes or small vignettes that focus on coordination and communication. When paired with U.S. paratroopers in action, they help tell the story of frontline leadership and decision-making in the chaos of battle.

Material & Customization

Made from high-quality resin, these figures ensure crisp detail and easy cleanup. The alternate heads and poses allow for various combinations, letting modelers adapt them to different settings—either together as a command team or separately across multiple scenes. The durable resin material is ideal for fine painting, weathering, and minor conversions.

Who It’s For

This set is designed for WWII enthusiasts, military historians, and modelers seeking to expand their Airborne collections. Intermediate to advanced builders will especially appreciate the dynamic poses and opportunities for storytelling through composition and paintwork.
