An interesting concept from Zvezda, but must take up a considerable amount of diorama space!

Wow, the parachute is an eyecatcher!!!
This is a good idea for dioramas!
Thanks for showing!

Think I will buy it for the parachute and use it on some British paras. Also have an idea of using doped tissue to make a parachute.

Very cool! I hope this morphs into American 101st and 82nd, and British Paratroops. These guys are putting out some pretty nice stuff lately. Everytime I look at our news section I feel like a kid again looking at the Sears "Wishbook" catalog again right before Christmas!

Santa could I havea Bronco______ and a Dragon_____________and a Tamiya______, etc., etc., for Christmas!


Yeah!!!!!!!!

.... It is indeed a very interesting figure. But it is very rigid. My parachute made ​​of fabric, is quite malleable.
Space is important. But if you make a Diorama "Detail" space can be reduced considerably.
When I have done Fallschirmjäger scale dioramas of large (1 / 10) I have photographed in the field. Playing with perspective and scale of nature.
Sincerely ... Jorge
