Polish Paratroopers 1st Independent Parachute Brigade

[Arbogastiz]

Hi,
My first post here, c&c welcome. Yes, I'm better painter than photographer

[k.b.]

These paras sure look good to me! Although it's not my period by any means the camo jackets look very nice indeed! I am also probably wrong but weren't they nicknamed the red berets, which suggests to me that the figure wearing a beret is incorrectly adorned ! Would love to see bigger and better pictures!

[MABO]

Yes you are right. They had red berrets and were called so as well. And yes some close-ups would be nice!

[Arbogastiz]

Kekso, thanks for image edition K.B and MABO - of course you're both right, my mistake in title, I was tired after hard work, they are Polish paras from 1st Independent Parachute Brigade, therefore officer is wearing grey beret. In spare time I'll make some close-ups.
PS. How can I change the post title?

But from which company are the figures inthe 1st row 4th fig?
2nd row 2nd fig; 3rd row last fig?

Hi Wiking!
They are from Italeri 6131 Anti Tank Teams set - http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1730 Unfortunatelly, they are bigger and , in my opinion of course, worse sculpted than old Esci/Italeri re-edition/ figures

Hello Arbogastiz,

Thank you for your fast answer with a link.
I`ll pass that set because they are too big, i remember now.

Hi, some wanted better pictures, so here they are ( lying soldiers aren't ready for gaming yet) :

I like it how you' ve painted them. however, the PIAT has an historical error! It should stand on one pot instead of two pot's.

[Arbogastiz]

Hi Mickey, yes I know about PIAT, it's evident mistake made by Esci Sculptor. But remember, those soldiers aren't ready so maybe I'll cut off this irritating bipod and replace it with single pod

[Arbogastiz]

PS. Can ypu see all 4 picture that I've posted or only two ?

[mickey mouse]

I can only see 2 pics here
