Aloha everyone!!!!
I've been looking for figures that depict British para infantrymen from the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan. Can anyone direct me to kits that would provide the closest resemblance. I've seen those by Verlinden and although they're from the Iraq campaign it looks like they might be too hard to convert.....
Thank you in advance!!

Would definitely go with Accurate Armour's figures; I have all of the latest releases for Iraq/Afghanistan (not Jackal crews though-yet!) and would highly recommend them. Also, check out modern heads for British troops (www.sbmodels.uk.net item SBS35-18); have heads with 'boonie' hats, Scottish headgear and even shmeghs(or however you spell it!); CMK also has some modern British figures, but are a bit stiff in appearence.
