"March 1945, the largest single airborne drop in history is underway. Due to pilot error some of the US 17th Airborne are dropped on British glider drop zones where they rallied and aided the British 6th Airborne division eliminate German artillery batteries. Once the German troops in the area had been eliminated, a combined force of American and British airborne troops stormed Hamminkeln and secured the town" 1/30 – Incredible good! Much more here link Hope you enjoy! Amicalement Armand

This is a fantastic 1/6th scale set up. No way it is 1/30th. No one makes cloth uniforms in that scale. If they do, then I know my next scale. But 1/6th scale is a good bet. I think I have a couple of them. Matthew

Although Kampfgruppe vonAbt have now started a 1/30 gallery, this particular diorama IS from their usual 1/6th scale.

Took my attention that nobody like the other diorama from them… TMP link Amicalement Armand

I like all of them, but they are all 1/6th scale. 1/30th scale is what King and Country make, and they are all metal. Matthew

It's the real fabric that helps to give it away. :-)
