Inspired by the mobile commandos of the Boer War, the Special Air Service was formed by Britain after the fall of France in 1940. Volunteers underwent rigorous training covering weaponry, stealth, orienteering, air and amphibious assault, demolition, and a number of other critical skills to operate behind enemy lines. The Commandos operated extensively during World War 2 in multiple theaters.

This box set includes enough parts to build 30 SAS, SBS, or Royal Marine Commandos with a variety of headgear. Equipment includes Sten, Bren, and Tommy guns, Lee Enfield rifles, sniper rifles, pistols, knives, a demo charge, and radio equipment.

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included.

“Shut your eyes and go in!” General Fritz Bayerlein’s exhortation to his Panzer Lehr troops. This elite unit was formed from veterans who participated in the fighting on the Eastern Front, North Africa, and Sicily and was outfitted with the latest equipment of the German war machine. Formed late in the war, they took part in some of the heaviest fighting in France in 1944 until their eventual surrender in April 1945 within Germany. 

This hard plastic box set allows you to build up to 30 soldiers equipped with rifles, MP-40s, Panzerfaust, MG-42s, grenades, pistols, and more. Optional tool and equipment arms can be used to convert these into normal tank crew as well.

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included.

1940. France is occupied by the Germans and the Vichy government does Hitler’s bidding.

As Hitler’s war machine overran Europe, British soldiers were sent en masse to help defend France and also made a failed attempt to relieve Norway. German Blitzkrieg warfare was too much for the smattering of veterans and relatively green troops sent to Europe after hasty training. Outmaneuvered and outgunned they eventually fell back on the coast. Many were evacuated during the brave effort at Dunkirk but many also ended up as German POWs. 

This hard plastic box set will allow you to build both BEF and Home Guard troops (and useful for Imagi-Nations British civil wars too!) Equipped with SMLE and P-14/17 Enfield rifles, Bren and Lewis light machine guns, and Thompsons and BARs. A variety of hats and helmets allow you to portray a wide variety of troops. 

This set was developed as part of our Vox Populi voting system where YOU decide what we make in hard plastic!

5 frames per box build up to 30 figures.
