U.S. ARMY RANGER, 1943
(Retail US$14.99)
Major Darby's Rangers were
the American equivalent of the British Commandos,
and drew their name and traditions from Rogers'
Rangers of the French and Indian Wars. The Rangers
were crack troops, trained for swift, stealthy
raids behind enemy lines. Casualties were always
heavy. Two of Darby's Battalions were trapped at
Anzio and wiped out; of 764 men who went into a
ravine at Cisterna only 7 returned to American
lines.
These are unpainted
and unassembled metal hobby kits.
Unless otherwise noted, these kits are in the
International 54mm
Collectors Scale. Standing figurines are approx.
2-1/2" - 3" tall.
