1/16 French Paratrooper – ’60’s

The 1/16 French Paratrooper – ’60’s by Dynamo Models captures the distinct appearance and posture of a Cold War-era French airborne soldier. Sculpted in high-resolution 3D and cast in premium resin, this figure is ideal for collectors, modelers, and historical enthusiasts seeking to portray the evolution of military gear post-WWII.

This 1/16 scale resin figure represents a paratrooper from the French Army during the 1960s, a period marked by modernization and transition within the French armed forces. The uniform and equipment reflect standard issue of the time, including the Béret rouge, light combat vest, and detailed boots and webbing, as seen during operations in Algeria or other overseas missions.

The paratrooper is sculpted standing in a relaxed yet alert pose, suggesting a moment of readiness or rest in the field. This naturalistic stance, paired with finely reproduced fabric textures, folds, and facial features, makes the figure not only realistic but ideal for storytelling in diorama compositions.

Whether you’re building a Cold War display, a modern French military showcase, or expanding a collection of historical figures, this model is a perfect fit. The level of detail is consistent with high-end 1/16 resin kits, and the clean casting ensures minimal prep work before painting.

This figure pairs excellently with modern military vehicles and other figures from the same period, and will also appeal to those focusing on French military history, particularly post-independence operations in North Africa or peacekeeping missions of the 1960s.

Note: This kit includes one unpainted, unassembled figure. Glue and paint are not included.
