Dragon Models is issuing a set of 1/35 Navy SEAL figures in commemoration of Operation Geronimo. The set includes a variety of uniforms and kit, including frogmen.

The US Navy SEALs (“SEAL” stands for Sea, Air and Land) have long been a famed special operations formation. As their name suggests, they are capable of operating at sea, in the air and on land conducting a variety of missions. One of their most famous operations to date occurred on May 2, 2011, when SEAL Team 6 performed a covert penetration by helicopter in Pakistan. The target was none other than the USA’s most wanted fugitive – Osama bin Laden, the terrorist mastermind behind the deadly 9-11 attacks in the USA. The 40-man team was inserted into Abbottabad by helicopter, and it then proceeded to assault bin Laden’s fortified compound.

Dragon has launched a 1/35 scale figure set commemorating the recent exploits of SEAL Team 6. The SEAL team members are wearing a range of apparel and uniforms. The set even includes frogmen, showing SEALs in their natural environment. The eight sharply molded figures included in the set also wield a range of different weapons. Together, this set offers modelers a better understanding of the uniforms, equipment and weapons of this top-flight US Navy fighting force. Their motto is “The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday”, but Dragon has certainly made it easier for modelers to get closer to these elite American soldiers!
