Hi, I today's post a new 1/72 battalion accompagnied with some jeep support! The jeeps are old seventies Atlantic jeeps and are upgraded with bits of Airfix. The driver and passengers are made by Airfix. The jeeps were purchased at 0.50 cents a piece at the B&B at Crisis 2009! A real bargain ready to be painted and upgraded.
Here are some new pictures of a new battalion! The battalion is a US airborne battalion which will be used for Normandy, Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge. The figures are made by Airfix and were purchased in their D-Day box.
The battalion exists out of
- 1 commander (1 figure)
- 4 squads of 4 bases (32 figures)
The battalion waiting in the paintingline!

You're a master of good prices!
I'm doing my best! And I already found a cheap supplier for second hand plastic miniatures 50 figures at 4 euros for every brand in his possesion. And for other cheap stuff I search at fleamarkets and crisis, the annual Belgian wargame exposition.
But wargaming is an expensive hobby for a student :p
Nice idea to use these jeeps, I can't wait to see them painted.

Well done on the jeeps. They actually look more like the M151 mutts than the WW2 ones.
I must keep an eye out for these for my Vietnam forces.
