This is a collection of STL files for 3D-printable World War II miniatures suitable for the late-war airborne operations in Western Europe. You have a set of US paratroopers as the core pledge, with an optional German force (available either as a separate add-on or part of one of the bundled pledges).
tly after midnight on the 6th of June, parachutes start to open under the moonlit skies of Normandy. As the first Allied paratroopers descend into the Normandy countryside, the Liberation of France begins.
Build your airborne forces for the Liberation of Europe
Death From Above brings individually sculpted WWII US Airborne and late-war German infantry, and a massive array of prospective stretch goals, to your 3D printer.
Assorted 15mm prints (Henry Turner)
All these miniatures print straight on your build plate with no added supports needed at 6mm (I do recommend adding some additional supports at 15mm and larger, mind!)
Choose your core forces, expand your collection with optional add-ons, and help unlock further troops and equipment.
Following on from Battleground 1940, which brought the lightning actions of the Fall of France to your tabletop, Death From Above returns us to the battlefields of Northern Europe as the Allies return to push back the German war machine.
This Kickstarter offers much of what you’d need to model the Allied airborne landings of 1944, with a newer versatile sculpting style natively scaled for 6mm but suitable for printing all the way up to 18mm (without asymmetrical rescaling!)

Each leaner, highly detailed miniature is individually posed from scratch, for more dynamic poses, and the two core forces are further supplemented by a generous selection of stretch goals, as well as a vehicle add-on with Jeeps and stretches covering artillery pieces.
The US Airborne are the core force, with Germans being an added option that can be had either as part of one of the bundled tiers (“Allied & German STLs” or “All BG1944 STLs“), or a separate add-on.
Early stretch goals flesh out the core content with Observers, Radiomen, Casualties, Medics, Snipers and HQ teams; view these below!
The Technical add-on adds Jeeps as well as Crew/Passenger figures for vehicles.
