Description

Plastic military model kit: Sainte-Mère-Église 1:72 Heller 52327

The model kit commemorates the battles for Sainte-Mère-Église, the first town liberated by American paratroopers during the Normandy landings in June 1944. The Starter Kit includes the essential elements to build a diorama depicting this historical event.

The kit includes:

GMC CCKW 353 truck
1/4 Ton Truck (Jeep) with trailer
48 soldier figures (American paratroopers and German armored grenadiers)
Scenery elements (town sign)
Paint set, brush, and glue

Sainte-Mère-Église became famous due to the actions of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions of the USA. One of the most well-known episodes was the fate of paratrooper John Steele, whose parachute got caught on the tower of the local church. The GMC CCKW trucks, known as Jimmy, formed the logistical backbone of the Allied forces during Operation Red Ball Express, supplying rapidly advancing front-line units.

Assembly and painting required. Does not include paints or glue. For assembly, separately sold modeling tools are needed (including cutters, files, tweezers), paints, brushes, and plastic model glue (e.g. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement). The photo shows a professionally assembled and painted model.
