1:32 Airfix clones Fallschirmjäger and 1:35 Tamiya Tiger I tank Fallschirmjäger (Fallschirmjager or Fallschirmjaeger in English) is the German word for paratroopers. They played an important role during World War II, when, together with the Gebirgsjäger they were perceived as the elite infantry units of the German Wehrmacht. After World War II, they were reconstituted as parts of postwar armed forces of both West and East Germany, mainly as special ops troops.

As recently as the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict the Israel Defense Forces employed heavily modified Centurions as armoured personnel carriers and combat engineering vehicles. South Africa still employs over 200 Centurions: The vehicles of the SANDF were modernized in the 1980s, and the resulting model is known as the Olifant. Between 1946 and 1962 4,423 Centurions were produced, consisting of thirteen basic marks and numerous variants. From Wikipedia
