It's a French legionary of the Division Daguette, First Gulf War by Hachette...they are designed by Andy...

You can find it for a few bucks in many estores on Ebay.. here for example:
http://www.ebay.it/itm/FIGURINE-DE-COLLECTION-legionnaire-/161935721112?hash=item25b41f0298
The series is very good...the first 20 or something more are K&C style (you can't tell the difference), the painting is nearly perfect, the figures are wonderful. The other releases seem like the sculptor and painter is changed, they are good, but they are less defined and the paint is nearly gloss. I'll take a picture of all my French legionaries and post it.

Some time in the past (about ten years ago) a number of Collector , the magazine of the K&C brand , concerned just this theme. All the "external" projects by K&C . I used that magazine as a guide to find many little gems. About 30% of my collection is composed of figures made by K&C but not K&C.

Here's a couple of GI's using radio comms. The one on the ground is a re-cast Timpo WWII signaler, using a telephone style handset. The one in the jeep - is a converted figure based on the Timpo version - but adapted to be sitting in the jeep (half in and half out) which is a Dorset soldier lookalike casting.

I also adapted and painted some of the other figures to fit in with the (repaired) jeep - which was originally by Dinky. jb
