I checked Battlefront, Old Glory, and Forged in Battle and had no luck. So does anyone make the above. WWII Russian paratroopers?!! Yes they had them I don't know if they were ever deployed by air drop but a friend of mine would like some of them. Anyhoo thanks and salut y'all! Bruce the Texas Grognard |

They certainly did some air drops, even pretty early in the war. As for who makes them, pretty slim pickings. Just checked Peter Pig and QRF and no dice either. |

Did they really look any different than normal Soviet infantry in WW2? |

Soviet paras wore the same uniforms as everyone else, so just use normal infantry. OK, it is slightly more complex than that. Decent site here, including lots of 15mm WW2 Sov paras: link But really, you could use normal sovs with the odd blue pilotka for a bit of colour. |

Or scouts in the camouflage overalls maybe? |

That is what the chap on the link I posted did. They look very good. |

Work filter… Suppose I was wondering if overalls are accurate; they would certainly give you the airborne look, even if done in one colour. |

Nice, he's made a good job of those. |
