Hi Tim
The first set you mention are SS troops, but from my reading of sources, their jackets and equipment were the same cut as regular Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager.
The Casino set are old, so not as good as recent DML figures, but the uniforms are suitable.
You can't go wrong with splinter camo on all the jackets!
I believe some of the old hands kept the plain green drab para jackets to show they were old sweats. So you could have a mix of camo and non-camo smocks. And from photos I've seen the camo faded a lot.
The Hedgerow Tank Hunters set is a really nice set of NW Europe Fallschrimjager in action poses.
I have the Osprey book and another on Fallschirmjager. If you have any more specific questions, I can check them for you. I know H&C and some other publishers have books on Fallschirmjager, but I don't have those (yet).
Cheers
Andy |
