US Paratroopers

This is my first attempt at US Paratroopers from WW2 in 20mm.  These figs are from SHQ figures.  I bought just a squad of these guys, as I wanted to see what they were like, but Im still on the fence with them.  Some of the figures were great - some were not so much (ie, the guy who is prone literally had no face;  also, couldnt tell if the figures had patches or not...I dont think they did, but who the hell knows???).  They were also tougher to paint then I thought.

Also used some decals from Company B for the unit and rank insignia.  Somewhere, I read that the Screaming Eagles didnt use flags on the right shoulder on D Day, so I went with that.

Oh well - here they are:
