I believe DRagon had a set in 1/35. Airfix used to market a boxed set of toy soldiers in 1/32 that could be used in dioramas, but I'm not sure if they are still marketed now. Hope this helps. -Ed

There is a Begian company called RESICAST who do loads of WWII British Paras plus equipment and conversions for various airbourne Jeeps. They are available form Historex agents in the UK (www.historex-agents.co.uk) Also, Verlinden produces a range of Paras too. They are all in 1/35th.

Hope this helps.

Verlinden Productions do some pretty amazing resin Paras, they have retailers across the world, and are based in the US. I'm pretty impressed to see a yank who's interested by us englishmen, Historex agents, as mentioned above is a branch who retails in the UK in dover. The US site is http://www.verlinden-productions.com look under online catalogue and go to 1/35 figures, then be shocked by the 2000+ kits available. They're amazing but a bit expensive. Hope it helps.

Verlinden make 4 different para sets in 120mm too, although they mey not all be in production you can usually tracke them down on the net. Dragon did a 1/16th scale para.

Also there is a british company called firing line
( http://www.djparkins.clara.net/fline/flmaster.htm) that do a couple of modern British soldiers with pack that could easily be painted to represent paras, just need to alter the cap badge if you choose the head with the beret.

Check out the Historex site listed above, there are many companies that make 54mm metal paras, Chota Sahib is one that springs to mind, and I think Historex stocks these.

I believe I have a box somewhere of Brittish Para's still on the sprue. I will locate it and upload a picture if it exists here. :)
