Chemical Mortar Platoon

A new platoon is added to my US Airborne Company. The Chemical Mortar Platoon.
I can use this platoon when I build an Airborne Company from the Turning Tide handbook or, if I wish from the old D minus 1 handbook.
Normally I paint a platoon like this in a day or a weekend but now it took me more then a week. I was and still am glad that I already can paint for an hour spread over the day. I am not that happy with the end result but for me it is good enough.
The platoon also has the option to include a jeep with a .50cal AA MG and jeep with trailers. But because I won't use these I have decided not to included them at this point but will buy them later on.

The pictures.

  1. Nicely done. I have also have a chemical mortar battery for my Americans and find it to be a very useful unit.

    I hope your recovery is progressing well - with painting output like the above it certainly seems to be.

    good luck

  3. Thanks.
    The recovery is going well.
    But i must say that the last few days i pushed myself over the limited. So I must take a time out and take it easy.
