The infantry figures look like British parachuters, were they dressed like that in 1940? |

Nope. In my experience armor modelers know little about infantry. |

To my knowledge, the British Army did not even have any paras in May 1940. The parachute regiment was only established the next month, and then it took a while to get actual field formations ready. |

i thought the inf were not bef types as well!
the denison smock only entered service in 1942, long after the a9. |

The camouflage pattern on the tank is not ‘by the book' either. |

Actually the camou scheme on the tank is right for BEF 1940 (well colours anyway, pattern I could not say), but almost nothing else is. The CO seems to be wearing the pixie suit, which was seen in NE Europe sure, but not until 1944. The paras here is an incredible error for 1940 and their smocks are very unconvincing for any era. |

It's the pattern that's wrong, as I said. |

Nice model … but yes those UK para smocks are a few years too early … |

"Nope. In my experience armor modelers know little about infantry." And many times also about tanks. I've seen several Afrika Korps Tigers and Panthers and many more other wrong colours and patterns in several vehicles. |

Beautifully executed, but very weird diorama… |

They also do beautiful weathering jobs on the vehicles and yet the people all appear in laundry fresh fatigues/overalls! |
