Sorry no information on the paratrooper kit, the box art looks vintage yet the helmet and desert camouflage is modern. 1/10 scale isn't common.

Q: Is the kit resin and how about a picture of the face sculpt? That is what makes or breaks a figure kit.

You'll need to modify the K-pot's chinstrap to a parachutist's harness...  If you're going to model it as a Desert Storm-era US Army Paratrooper, the boots will need to be converted to either OD/Black or the all-black Jungle Boots...

This guy's site is about the tops in painting US Army figures in WW2...

M1942 paratroop jump jacket and trousers - These items sometimes appear as a light or dark green color in product box art, which is wrong. Use an Armor Sand or SAC Bomber Tan. The large reinforcement patches on elbows and knees were sewn onto many, but not all, airborne uniforms; the color varies from a dull light green to gray-green. Some of the cargo pockets on the trousers were also trimmed out with reinforcement strips in these shades as well. You can also paint the tie strips, which helped secure the supplies in the large pockets, this contrasting color.
