Italeri 1/72 WWII British Paratroopers Model Kit

British Airborne forces earned legendary status at operations like Bruneval, Sicily, Normandy (Pegasus Bridge), and Arnhem. The "Red Devils" — named for their distinctive maroon berets — were elite volunteer soldiers trained for air-landing by parachute and glider. Armed with Sten guns, Lee-Enfield rifles, and Bren light machine guns, paratroopers fought at a disadvantage in heavy weapons but compensated with aggression and esprit de corps. This 1/72 Italeri set provides figures in Denison smocks and red berets.
