                        Hey, those are nice! .... and pricey! Maybe I'll play around with the ones I've got for now ... HAHA!!!

                        All I really need is 2-3 good ones anyway ... 1 out the door, 1 in the door, and 1 behind him. All the others will only be seen through the AC's windows. I may have a small green LED in the cabin to show some light ... but I'm not "there" yet. I want most of the attention going to the guy already out the door .... or at least that action.

                        Thanks, stik, for the link.

                        Hey Stik,

                        Yeah, I've got those. I guess I was just hoping for something a little different/ something with cleaner molding.

                        1/48 Paratroopers???
                        Posted by modelchasm on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 8:23 AM

                        So even though I'm still pretty much in the beginning stages of my "Mosul" build, this is right about the time that I start planning my next one ...

                        I have been eye-ing my 1/48 C-47 Skytrain that's been sitting up on the top shelf for a good minute ... think it's about time to pull her down. I need 2-3 good detailed figures for the build. I'm looking for 1/48 US WWII paratroopers. I'm going to be reworking one of them to be jumping, so I need to be able to do that.

                        Everything that I've seen thus far is from the 1/35 world. If anyone has seen or knows of any 1/48 para figure kits, please let me know.

                        Thanks in advance.
