Forever associated with the Normandy landings,  the VLA  (Very Low Altitude – US Type M1) balloon was used earlier in the war for Atlantic convoy protection and also in the invasions of Sicily and Italy. The balloon could be flown from motor vehicles travelling as fast as 40mph and two flown together could reach an altitude of 4,400 ft, almost as much as the 5,000 ft norm of the more frequently seen LA type.This set of nine balloons arrives as nine individual models still on their print supports. Please consult the attached diagrams BEFORE removing the supports to avoid losing some of the detail.VLA (Type M-1) :  35 ft long, 14ft diameter

Made-to-Order Manufacturing

At 3DPT, every model is manufactured to order rather than pulled from warehouse inventory. This approach allows us to offer an extensive catalog while ensuring each piece is produced with the care and attention it deserves.

Most orders ship within 7-14 business days. However, larger models, complex projects, and high-volume orders may require 4-6 weeks or longer due to extended print times and production requirements.

While extended lead times are uncommon, they may occasionally occur during periods of high demand or due to circumstances outside our control. We appreciate your understanding as we continue our mission of preserving transportation history in miniature through high-quality, made-to-order models.
