Title: Military Figures
Post by: JudgeDredd on September 26, 2023, 03:15:50 AM

Hi all

I do some modelling but normally armour and aircraft (1/35 and 1/48 scale).

However, my brother was in the Parachute Regiment in the 80's and I'd like to make a model for him for his birthday, but I'm not really sure where to get model figures...I've never shopped for them.

Ideally I'm looking for UK/Europe based distributor to keep postage costs down. I'd like an 80s British Parachute Regiment figure but willing to have a WWII British Para figure and either 1/16th or 1/35th scale.

Any ideas?

These are two links I found just now:

https://www.scalemates.com/kits/assault-models-35013-paratrooper-parachute-regiment-british-army--1179164

https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/135-military-miniature/british-paratroopers/

I know the Tamiya one is for the USA but they might have a UK/EU site as well.

Thanks - I didn't think to check Scalemates - and Google didn't come back with Scalemates
