The Airfix D-Day Operation Overlord Gift Set is the perfect set for experienced model collectors, helping capture a piece of history in wonderful detail.
Early on the morning of June 6th, 1944, the combined forces of the Allied armies landed in Northern France in the most ambitious and important operation of the Second World War.
With airborne troops already on the ground and fighting, the sea-borne element of the force began landing. This phase of the operation was codenamed Neptune and consisted of five invasion beaches: three British and Canadian (Sword, Gold and Juno) and two American beaches (Omaha and Utah). The landings themselves were preceded both by a powerful air attack and by a fierce naval artillery barrage from a vast armada of ships anchored offshore.
This collection comes from the Normandy beachhead, with tanks, landing craft, trucks, a gun emplacement, soldiers and a diorama base to enable you to recreate this momentous day.
The set comes with glue, acrylic paints and brushes included.
