The British paratroop regiments earned their elite status at Normandy and Arnhem.  Despite their historically low numbers, there are three different sets in this scale.  Airfix has a set of terrible quality.  The Revell set is better, with historically correct uniforms.  The Esci set is the best, with great aggressive poses.

These are from the Revell set.  The figures are too large to mix well with either Esci or Airfix, so will have to serve in units of their own.  The detail on the uniforms is not raised very well, and so is very difficult to paint.
