These are the first paras ever made by K & C.

The figure on the right, which I have had for several years, is a different camo than the others and is clearly 82nd.

There is one more, a paratrooper kneeling firing. I'll check. If I have more than one, you can take one when you come by for the Symposium.:smile2:

As we both know Brad, being 'inspired' is often, but not always, how you learn.
35 years later I'm still learning... and loving it!
Best wishes,
Andy.

Andy, we're never too old to learn.

Cheers,

Brad

Has anyone ever worked out what the figure (on the far left of the first photo in the thread, or on the right in the photo above) is actually doing? I always wondered when I had these as Airfix figures in the 80's. A very odd pose :smile2:
