Hello All,
As part of the Airborne campaign I'm looking for 1/48 scale airborne figures and would greatly appreciate any links.

Tank,
Monogram as part of their earlier release of the 1/48th scale C47 (dakota) in D-day decals had a set of paratroopers in 1/48 with airborne cannisters (IIRC)
Don't know if you can find it anywhere, or if Monogram re-popped the same boxing?
Only ones that I know of.

CMK did a three figure group of WW2 U.S. Airborne, plus Hecker & Goros do a couple of two figure groups of Luftwaffe paras. Or you could try here North Star Figures . They are intended for wargaming, so the weapons are a bit chunky, but the British and U.S. figures arn't too bad. Avoid the Germans though, they're by a different sculpter who's more familiar with 28mm figures.
I seem to recall that Revell included some paras when they did their 1/48 JU-52.

I just went to their website and they have a few cool pictures and a nice blog but the shop is still under construction.
