Bundeszollverwaltung - Customs company for my modern gaming, I still have a VW van to add to them.
The figures are 1/72 Esci from the ground crew (radio operator ) NATO troops man with hand up, and from the Airfix nato ground crew the dog and the three walking (minus their tool boxes)

They look good. I like the guy standing around, non-chalantly chatting on the walkie-talkie...

These are a nice change from little army men! A non-military government organisation in action against smugglers... :D

And for airports checking aircraft….. that is what I am planning a spetsnaz raid…..

Very nice! Great use of that set. I can remember getting that set as a lad and thinking 'what do I do with these?' Forty odd years on and now I know.
Not just airports but bits of the IGB too. Perhaps the walkie-talkie bloke is prank calling the BGS?

Built upon your recommendation Carlos!
Yep a prank call for sure!

I remember that set of NATO ground troops. It was the only set of 1/72 figures I ever bought. I must have been 11 or 12 at the time. They languished in my bits box for decades, as I had some great ideas for a diorama, but this never came to fruition. I remember putting some nails with the tops cut off and a bend at the top into a square piece of multiplex, with some mosquito mesh as a chainlinked fence, but that's as far as I ever came.
Most of the troops in the set were in NBC gear, but the dog handler and several others have proven to be very useful some years ago when I was doing terrain and other elements for Gaslands.
The one with the signals was repurposed as a crashed Star trek cosplayer by removing the paddles, lying him flat on the ground and painting him as a TOS redshirt ;)
Your painting is really nice; they're an obvious coherent unit, and should put up at least some resistance to those Spetznas you mentioned ;)

The nato set is quite good, I used the nbc guys for zombie games, and some for Gaslands also. I have they put up a fight also!
