As the US Army advanced through France towards Germany, they would be faced with not only fierce German resistance, but also increasingly harsh weather. The winter of 1944-45 was a cold one in north-west Europe, and the GIs who would find themselves in desperate combat during the Battle of the Bulge in the forests of the Ardennes would discover that the weather was almost as much of a foe as the enemy troops. Digging into the frozen ground became incredibly difficult, and the men were grateful for every piece of winter clothing they could get their hands on.

This box gives you everything you'll need to build 30 US Army infantrymen in winter uniforms, ideal for representing the men fighting in the freezing conditions of the Battle of the Bulge.

Each sprue contains:

• Six dynamically posed bodies in thick winter greatcoats.

• Twelve unique head options, including helmets with camouflage covers and netting

• A wide range of weaponry including the iconic M1 Garand rifle, Thompson and ‘Grease Gun’ submachine guns, Bazooka anti-tank rocket launcher, and Springfield sniper rifle - and more!

• Loads of extra details, including binoculars, water bottles, ammunition pouches, rifle grenades, and many more.

US forces are fantastically simple to paint, and these men in their long winter greatcoats are no exception. With only a few colours, you can quickly and easily bring your collection to life on the tabletop, and the awesome detail on these plastic sprues provides a fantastic opportunity to really show off your painting skills!
