great job, the only thing that just doesn't seem right is the weapons laying on the runway/ground. grunts (infantrymen) would NEVER leave their weapons lying around like that, their lives depended on them (especially the airborne) even if they are leaning on a parachute pack (both weapons) with one trooper watching them would be ok. if you have three rifles, stack them in a triangle, same with the tommy guns, other than that outstanding job and that's a easy fix.  

(p.s. never leave weapons leaning on a vehicle, crook of the arm, slung, or leaning on your person is ok. inside a vehicle is ok but rule of thumb, keep it within arms reach)

Speaking of the Thompsons is it too late to put NCO stripes on the guys with them?

This is an awesome dio, I really like this one!

Great build! Where can I get paratrooper figures like these as I'm planning to do a similar diorama?

Man, I can't stop looking at this wonderfull scene.  Some of the Paratroops actually look nervous.  Amazing work !

Outstanding dio!Yes  Like P51Mustang said, the only thing that caught my eye were the weapons laying on the ground.

Fantastic job 101! All the way around...this must have been a bear to tackle.  Glad to see it complete.  Love the stripes especially, and all the extras on the figures is a treat to see.

Great job. =]
