There are many others. I know of some more by Dragon; just go to the online stores and search. Verlinden has some more as well. I don't know of very many resin kits. I used the MB figures in one mof my dios. They work very well. The helmets do not fit well though...


Cheers,

Hi There,

Nemrod produces some very nice American Paras. Dragon has a couple of sets as well.

Cheers

Daniel. if money is no object, the Nemrod are by far the best I've seen... Also their 30th infantry figures are superb...

I Second that motion. If money is an object, someone already mentioned Master Box and I would agree with them. Just becareful as their uniforms are meant for September of 44. Dragon's Paratroopers in Normandy are also a great set, namely because you can buy a few sets and mix/match. From some reviews I've seen, Verlinden ( www.verlinden-productions.com ) also has some paratroopers but they are a little more expensive and there are issues with their size and uniforms. Check out Tim Streeter's site for more reviews. I know his site had been down for a few days but I am sure it will be back up in no time. www.usarmymodels.com
