Dragon’s new figure set features four soldiers from the 2nd Regiment of the elite SAS operating in France. As a Premium Edition set, these 1/35 scale figures have been issued by Dragon before. However, the set has benefitted from an important enhancement in the form of a Welbike. The Welbike, the smallest motorbike ever used by the British Armed Forces, was produced between 1942 and 1945. From the beginning, the diminutive motorcycle was designed to fit inside a standard parachute airdrop container. It could be assembled rapidly, and made an ideal vehicle for covert operations. Indeed, this upgraded set depicts a folded Welbike and its associated parachute drop container, ready for use in some destructive mission against German forces.

The figures, and the motorcycle, are sharply moulded, with the poses of the four figures lifelike. This is a very useful set of British figures, each wielding typical British weapons of the era, and it would make an ideal centre of attraction for any vignette!
