Does anybody know if there are either WW2 French/Dutch Resistence troops or Modern US Delta Force troops in 1:35? (Or any models that could be made to resemble them?) Thanks in advance!

Esci used to do a box of partisans, They look a bit Polish or Yugoslavian but with a bit of work you could modify them to represent Dutch resistance

Not sure how "modern" you are looking for on the Delta Force Figures, but Dragon makes some very nice Delta Force Figures in 1/35 from the Somalia conflict. I actually just got a set from www.greatmodels.com. Very good details.

Thanks guys! The Dragon models should be perfect - its for the Black Hawk Down era. (Sorry if the title was badly worded - of course they exist(ed) in real life!!)

The latest 1/35 "Delta Force" figures are from Infinity Shape. Those two figures in caps and carrying M4s can pass for Delta.

If you want, you can buy Verlinden's 120mm or 1/35 Special Forces in Iraq which can pass for Delta. Airborne Minatures also sells 120mm Special Forces.

Check out Infinity Shape and Airborne Miniatures at Colorado Miniatures.

I want to say that MK 35 does quite a few French Resistance fighters as well. And upon further investigation they do. They seem to look pretty good and are all in "at the ready" poses.
http://www.rjproducts.com/ RJ procuts has photos and a list of them. I think it takes a while to get them though.

I have built the Delta Force kit from Dragon and one of the best things about it was the multiple poses you can do from the set. I suggest buying 2 or 3 kits for all the possibilities.

Like others have said there is the DML Delta Force in Somalia 1993 set, but really you could use any modern SF figures to represent D-Boys, Seals would work particularly well.
As long as the figures are wearing tactical gear and are suitably armed, then go for it.
Cheers
