Great work Yac. Airborne looks great, just make sure the officers have the vertical bar and NCO's have the horizontal bar on the helmet.

[Yac 10]

Binkowski - mate

They are yet NCO`s white verical bar. :P Officer is not likely to do,

fighting in the majority of the soldiers and the sergeant ;)

[Takko 10]

These units are great Yac. (Don't even know how to speak it out lol, Jack?)

When I'm watching the faces, did you do them from scratch as well or are they textures BIS heads (as most people 'd do).

Because I wonder how you made those cheekbones

[belgerot 33]

Very nicely done so far!

[Romario 10]

Yac well beside you they were got! Only when you their выпуÑтиш like with type ready?

[Yac 10]

actually, low rank officers up to captain did see A LOT of action during ww2, especially paratroopers. Lieutant is a leader who goes first into combat -(thats why most of them get shot quickly). There are numerous examples of high rank officers leading into combat in Normandy, Anzio, Holland etc.. So please consider making at least Lieutants, it would be very hard to make historical based missions without them.

your models looks great, i was waiting for a long time for somone to create historically accurate models.

one litlle mistake I noticed though - m42 uniform have quite different collar - your looks like from m43 uniform. It should look quite different, more similar to brown shirt collar, and have small, vertical pocket for knife instead of flaps like your models have.. check the photos again, you will notice it for sure.

I noticed also that you mixed up magazine belt for garand with thompson magazine holster on the first picture - it was extreamly unusal for soldiers to have two types of magazines (and weapons) for primary weapon in the same time.

good luck with your excelent work!

@janosgolya

Thx for feedback :) , little attention - to the early phase of work on models. As for the details, I can not give them a lot, the model has its limitations due to game engine. Moreover, except give MLOD`s. So that everyone willing to freely modify and adapt them to fit your needs

Yup, the nature of the Airborne mission required small unit leaders (LTs, Capts, Majs) to be in the very midst of things.

OMG!That's the good of mods.Sooooooooooooo nice work!!!!!!:notworthy:

[Yac 10]

some soldiers from 327 GIR - wip...

[Binkowski 25]

Great work Yac, 327th looks awesome. Thank you!

Yac, I wore a "steel pot" helmet in Basic and Occupational Training in the U.S. Army and the wearer's head actually fits in a suspensive "webbing" (can't think of a better word) attached to the inside of a helmet liner. If I remember correctly, the helmet liner (mine was fiberglas, I think) detaches easily from the inside of the steel pot.

There should be a bit of space between the wearer's head and the outside of the helmet. See if you can increase the size just a tad, then see how they look on the soldier model's head.

[WW2mod 10]

Very good!I can't wait for playing!

[madmedic 0]

Looking very good!

The helmets are sitting a bit too low on the soldiers heads in those pictures, though.

You beat me to the post! :D

Yes, the soldiers in those pictures actually look more like they are wearing the helmet liners, without the steel pot.

YAC, I have a few steel pot helmets with liners... If you would like some pictures.

[Yac 10]

Thank you for your attention. I recall that the WIP :) - Models and details based on the book "US Paratrooper 1941-1941" authors - Carl Smith and Mike Chapell and "US.Army uniforms of World War II" by Shelby Statnton.

[Romario 10]

[Yac 10]

Romario

[RUDOLF 9]

Understood, if have no time on it, maybe could send the pack to me for helping to complete it.

Are you going to give the Parachute Infantry the proper round parachutes?

Yes - I hope I can make the appropriate addon. :)
