About product

British paratroopers and bicycles 1:35 (Tamiya)

An injection-molded plastic figure set in 1:35 scale from the Japanese brand Tamiya. It combines a pair of British Second World War paratroopers with two folding bicycles of the kind the British airborne units used. The bicycles are faithfully executed including the spokes and the saddle; the handlebars and the pedals are separate parts. It is a set of figures and accessories, not a vehicle. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

Folding bicycles allowed British paratroopers to move quickly after a drop and were a practical addition to their kit. The set captures soldiers in camouflage smocks, with a choice between the maroon beret and the paratrooper helmet. The typical kit is included - a pack, a water bottle, ammunition pouches and Enfield rifles.

Building and painting tips

The small parts of the bicycles call for careful clean-up and precise gluing with thin cement for plastic. The bicycles can also be assembled folded and used as a separate diorama accessory or beside a vehicle. Paint the figures in layers: the base of the camouflage smock, the shades of skin and of the leather kit; a dark wash into the folds and a dry brush on the edges will add depth. Each figure offers a choice of two types of head and arms, which allows different variants.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of Second World War dioramas in 1:35 scale.
  • For collectors of British airborne units.
  • For modelers who want to complete a scene with figures as well as equipment (the bicycles).
  • For figure painters of all levels.

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
