Hello all,
I have been looking for some 1/35th scale British Infantry or Paratroopers. All I know of is Airfix but I dont really like Airfixs stuff, is there any other place you all know of that sells them?

Hi David,

If you looking for Paratroopers then Resicast have a grand selection.

http://www.resicast.com/

If it's plastic figures then Dragon do 2 sets oif infantry and Tamiya have a set as well. There is also a set of Dragon British SAS which would do a paratroopers. Verlinden also have some British Paras.

Nimrod have some good British Figures too as to Warrior.

State side I don't know much about suppliers.

Cheers

Al

Hi David
Dragon make a set of paratroopers called 'Red Devils Arnhem 1944', I have them and think that they are pretty good. HTH. Nick

Hi

Masterbox also have a set called British Commandos although I have not seen this set to tell you its quality. They also have two more sets called British Paratroopers in the pipeline

In addition to the Red Devils airborne, dragon made a couple of British infantry sets as well.
-6212 British Infantry Normandy 1944

-6055 British Commonwealth Troops, NW Europe 1944


I have both the Red Devils and Normandy set, the first I have built. A little older set, but good. The Normandy set is a more recent product and looks very good in the gox. Of the commonwealth figure set I do not know.

Tamiya has also made one set of British infantry, on patrol. Product number 35223.


Edit: Of course someone mentioned these before, and I didn't pay enough attention. But well, there you see how they look.

Not sure if I missed it but on MasterBox's website they are advertising two English Paras to be released soon.

Cheers
