I think I.C.M. do some but Iīm not sure because I chucked the box away ages ago & now the figures are in the spares box. A while back I posted some photos of a modification to Taliban with some modern British soldiers ,I think that with a bit if epoxy putty to make a beard & a Chitrali hat if you have a bash the result may surprise you. Be prepared to put some work in if you try the I.C.M. ones because you get what you pay for so they are hardly Alpine standard. Have a look in my photos. Hope thatīs useful to you mate

I have some Mujaheddin figures from CMK in 1/35 that with a little tweaking would probably fit the bill as Taliban fighters as well.

Cheers,

Brian
