Whitley Sleeping bag open

£4.50

This is a Whitley Sleeping bag that the owner has just stepped out of. It is thought the Whitley bag was originally designed for Paras to use while in the body of an unheated Whitley aeroplane. These bags are huge and unwieldly and were not in general use but a photo does show the bags at Arnhem.

A nice painting challenge for those that like brushstroke camouflage.

You will be purchasing a scale model of a real item. The model may require removing of supports and some sanding and filling. We would recommend washing in some warm soapy water or Isopropyl Alcohol before painting to remove any remaining residues. Hanging Straps are indicative of how the packs were hung but the straps may not be suitable for your requirements and are fragile so would be best replaced with tape straps.

Not suitable for children under the age of 14
