I have the platoon 20, battlefield and AB Paras. The platoon 20 were pretty good when I first bought them. The details are a little soft, possible a sign of how many times these have been cast. The battlefield minis go well with Platoon 20. The AB's have a lot of fine detail and I do like them a lot but they are going to cost you more. They are my favourites for platoon sized skirmishes I don't have any of the Warmodelling Paras but I have got others packs from Mark at Scale Creep(Nice guy too)and they should work with platoon 20.
Not sure if I have comparison pics but I'm happy to do some over the next day or so if that will help |

Sadly, Battlefield have discontinued most of their British paras. There are now only a few packs of the "Rhine Crossing" paras, but the extensive (and excellent) Market Garden range is gone, as are many other BF ranges. I don;t know why. |

until Battlefield get around to casting the 100 odd new replacement paras they have I would use the Britannia ones and of course the FAAUSA ones which are beautiful figures, you can't go wrong with them. IN RF terms I have the entire British 1st Airborne Div which is made up of FAAUSA< Battlefield Britannia and P20 |
