There is hardly a WW2 diorama that is complete without barrage balloons providing protection against air attack.

I have remodelled all of these Barrage Balloons so that they can be produced more efficiently. They are held together in cages so that the printer"sees" them as one item and costs are consequently much lower. Models that were hollow are now solid and there are no unsightly sprue attachment points to have to clean off these small models.

Happy modelling!
