Dragon Models 6199 1/35 2nd SAS Regiment (France 1944)

Model Kit

This kit includes four figures representing members of the British 2nd Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment during WWI in France 1944. The SAS was formed early in World War 2 with the appropriate motto “Who Dares Wins” at a time when many “special” units were being raised. Known originally as “L Detachment”, the new unit grew to 390 men in 1942 and was redesignated 1st Special Air Service Regiment (1 SAS). After various reorganizations and a period of further growth, an SAS Brigade was formed in Scotland in January 1944, consisting of two British regiments (1 and 2 SAS), two French regiments (3 and 4 SAS), a Belgian squadron (later 5 SAS), and a signal squadron.
