Hello
I'm looking for some figure's of US troops wearing the Parka winter coat.
I know that Dragon do a set #6802 Chosen Reservoir. I've already have these.
Is there any other figure's available.

I don't think there are any more specifically for the Korean War in winter gear, but you could use WWII figures dressed the same. The uniforms and gear were pretty much the same for both conflicts.

Hello Gino
Thanks for the reply. Yeh I know that most of the kits still the same as WW2.
It's just that I like the look of the Parka & the Dragon kit is very hard to get hold of.

I am far from an expert on Korean War uniforms, but I think that I would be very careful about the footwear if using WW2 figures. By the Korean War I think that US soldiers were wearing lace up combat boots. They certainly would not have had leggings.
