I have the MP5 set, and IIRC, it has a couple G3s in it.  I can check when I get home.
I lied to get the job. They lied about the job. I'd say we're even. I hear...stupid people! Member of the Global Conspiracy since 2007

I have the set in my stash. They appear to wearing the West German equivalent of the US MOPP suit, not a  NBC cape. All four are in Flectarn Flak Vests and wearing that NBC type suit. It is not the BW Fatigue/BDU uniform from that time period.

Dragon also made a set of weapons that had G-3s and derivatives... not sure if it was the MP-5 family or another.

OOP and bloody tough to locate, generally.  There's one listed on ebay.  One.  I wouldn't call it an NBC cape, personally.  From the scan of the box-art on ebay, it looks more like the lightweight parka.

eta: Rechecked the pic and looks like 2 in parkas and 2 in flak vests.

If I can EVER find a kit with some G-36 rifles in it, I'll be making that Fallschirmjaeger kit up as a modern unit, in flecktarn.  (I anticipate going blind shortly thereafter from all the tiny dots...)

Dragon made a set of 80s style Falschirmjager. They appear to be in an NBC suit with Flak Vests, Bundeswehr steel pots, and armed with the period weapons (G3, MG3, Panzerfaust). It is set #3021, but I do not know its current availability.

Well, I just found the tankers on greatmodels from Warriors.  Are they any good?  And no luck yet on infantry.  I guess when people say German, they assume we all want WW2.

Hi all --

Looking for a source of MODERN German infantry and tankers, specifically for the Leopard.  Also need a good ONLINE reference for uniforms colors and insignia.

Thanks!
