                        I am searching for a (large scale, like 1/9) figure of a WW2 U.S. paratrooper in full gear (jumpsuit, parachutes, armament, ect....) Does anybody know whether this would be available by any manufacturer?
                        I have seen a German paratrooper, ready to jump from a plane, but I really wonder whether there will be a U.S. counterpart.Question [?]Question [?]

                        Regards,

                        Mirage Hobby does a very nice 200mm (I think thats 1/9th) US 101st D day figure, but not with parachute.

                        Thank you for the reply, nzgunnie.
                        Altough this is not what I am looking for, it seems to be a very nice figure. It should be more like the "Operation "Merkur" Fallschirmjaeger, Crete 1941" from Mirage. That one has the pre-jump set-up.

                        Cheers

                        I'm afraid not. But thank you anyway.

                        Check eBay or locally for Series 77 Miniatures World War II Paratrooper. Series 77 as far as I know is no longer producing figures but their kits turn up quite often on eBay and at hobby shows.
