d day kit

i got this beauty for my birthday. what a monster!
even though the big is twice the size needed, it's still a
lot of stuff. there are so many guys, it will take forever
to paint them. it comes with paint and cement.
why does everything inside say heller?
was this updated from 50 years?

yup, outside all airfix, inside all heller. nice group of stuff. i suspect that it will take a lot of detailing for a serious modeler's diorama. the layout id motr like a kids playset. should be a lot of fun.

Hi e,
I assume it is the Airfix D-day set you are referring to, and its no surprise to find the kits marked as Heller, as Heller & Airfix are both owned by Humbrol.
In fact most Airfix kits have been moulded in Heller's factory in France for many years now.
Most of the new D-day kits are a joint Heller/Airfix release.

I belive a set was marketed for the frogs and came with diff figures, not sure if any frog figures in poses of running away
