After months of planning, hard work, discussions and lots of learning Tristar is now truly back in business with their first new product , a set of British Paratroopers with Welbikes just in time for the 65th Commemoration of Operation Market Garden .

What a great looking set! the bikes and figures look really nice, from what can be seen in the photos.
Very welcome release with loads of potential.

Hi Pat,

Thanks for the update, glad to see these finally coming along. Good for them making somthing new and unusual. Timely too.

Now with the MB Horsa and C47 announced what we need are some highly detailed 1/35 parachutes in nice White, Blue, Yellow, Black, Red and Khaki colours, to atttache to the containers .

A hand cart or two would also be a useful item!

Given all the wired and wonderful things produced for the modelling world, I'm surprised no one ever got around to making parachutes

This is excellent news and I'm glad to hear Tristar are back on solid ground

Good to see they have also included the cradles for the containers.

Really great news and what perfect timing! I cant wait to get my hands on these, hopefully i'll see if I can get some shots of re enactors when im in Holland in a few weeks, in previous years they've had all sorts of equipment on display.
