Para Firing Sten Gun
Strangely enough, over the years, we have never produced a standing Para firing the MarkⅤ Sten Gun until now...
This particular variant of the Sten was the 'Paratrooper Version' complete with pistol and front grips plus a bayonet lug. More than 350,000 Mark Vs were made before 6 June 1944, and continued in service right into the 1950s.
‘RETURN TO ARNHEM’
This past September marked the 80th Anniversary of one of the most famous battles of WWII: the doomed attempt by the British 1st Airborne Division to capture the famous road bridge over the Lower Rhine at the Dutch city of ARNHEM. This was part of Operation Market Garden, devised by Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery, to seize a series of major bridges and secure a road route for the British XXX Corps to advance up through occupied Holland and open a direct front into the Ruhr, Nazi Germany’s industrial heartland. If successful, Montgomery believed the war might be over Christmas 1944.
Unfortunately, the plan fell apart in Arnhem.
Due to be released in NOVEMBER 2024.
