I know 'airborne handcart' sounds like a contradiction in terms, but they were an important part of British airborne practice in WW2. At least one company makes them in 20mm, but does anyone do them in 28mm? |

If any one wants to try a scratch-build in 28mm, here's a video of a US cart, which is probably very similar if not the same (hey, we copied the British in a lot of things !) YouTube link

And here are some pix of the original British item, although a bit smaller: milweb.net/webvert/75074 Not like the US cart at all – more like what my neighbor has for hauling around yard stuff (plants for planting, topsoil, compost, etc.) |

Much as I detest painting let alone building, perhaps scratch-building is the only option…perish the thought. |

Valiant Miniatures do a German one in plastic. Perhaps it can be modded. |

Shpouldnt be that hard to scratchbuild. Plasticard and rod if you have it, card and paperclips if you dont, wheels might be the only problem, maybe a suitable washer/seal? |
