1/35 (ish) British paratroopers

Post by UKscalemodeller »

Can anyone recommend a decent 1/35 scale (or maybe bigger) British paratroop please.

It is for a dio and will be on its own so scale doesn't really matter and long as it is at least 1/32 and also I will only need the one figure if I were to get a set.

any recommendations?

In 1:35 I recommend you both british paratroopers kits from MasterBox :thumb2: . I have both of them and the figures I built are exellent. Here you can see the figures of the kit :

Thanks, I have seen the first set on eModels but you cant see the actual figures on there, they look great, not sure if they fit the bill but will definatly consider them.

What I need is one that could pass for my Grandfather at Market Garden (the wounded guy would fit best unfortunately)

Do Airfix not do a set of 1/32 British Paras? I know they have several 1/32 Figure sets available.

Dragon do a good set of 1/35 Para's from Arnhem and may have a different sense for France or something :think: ... Airfix's current 1/32 Para's are a one piece affair so not great but their old 1/32 multipose figures were actually pretty good I think :whistle:
