Only boxart so far but 2 new sets of paras in action. Very welcome indeed. Got the info over at The Modelling News.

Im guessing it's very early news. The box art looks like its just a rough draft.

Very useful sets looks to me.

Somebody over on Track Link observed that the poses are similar to the really ancient Esci paras. However, I'm sure they'll be far superior.

The Kits should be out around June I've heard. Unfortunately the boxarts are the correct ones...not up to Bronco's usual high standards.
The contents are what matters and if anything like their last Para sets they'll be excellent.

To put this into perspective three poses out of ten figures are similar to the old Esci set. To be fair most companies base new figures on real period photos to a large degree and there aren't that many action shots of British Paras to choose from.
Just my two penneth.

Combine these with Dragon's older Red Devils and SAS set, and you'll have a para force to be reckoned with.

Any idea about prices? I cant justify the £20 + price tag for the other para sets. Im really hoping they will be at least a little more affordable.
