You can only find parachutes in the toy soldier realm.
Here are the ones I could find:

Conte Collectibles Item No.: WW2-072 Price: $60.00


Conte Collectibles Item No.: WW2-084 Price: $69.00


King & Country Item No.: DD056 Price: $119.00

Thanx Al,
guess I will try to scratch one. Shape of parachute is not so crucial because it will be hanging from a tree with container lie on the ground in front of bridge..

Cheers
Robert

Robert, If you check out the 2008 a.m.p.s. show you'll see how I got mine done. It is just tissue cut in a semi circle in the bottom with static lines running out of it. Because it is in the trees, the exact shape doesn't matter as it is clumped up and the canister is in the hedgerow. Hope this helps some. bob
