Title: 28mm US Airborne Engineers?
Post by: Tommy20 on 23 October 2023, 06:30:01 PM

Does anyone make 28mm figures appropriate for US Airborne Engineers?  If so, I haven’t been able to find any.  Metal, plastic or .stl, I’ll take what I can get!

Thanks in advance!

Late war, these blokes would probably look the part:

Was hoping to find some in Airborne kit, but I suppose these would work with a little converting.  I made my infantry engineers with the Warlord plastics, and they look great.  I don’t particularly like their plastic airborne, however…

Thanks!

 I agree completely. I wish they had would prioritize remaking that sprue and this time give them the early war jump suits.
