REP is for Régiment Étranger de Parachutistes...

...and not what I thought it was the other day! Only the French could buck the trend of maroon for paratroops berets! More 25mm Starlux, I've tagged them as both Styrene and Cellulose-acetate polymers because Starlux used both, but these appear to be polystyrene.

These seem to be not so much 'hard to find' as just a very small range, I've seen these two poses quite often but there doesn't seem to be a any fighting or marching poses as there are with the kepi, helmet and red or blue beret wearing ranges, nor do they seem to have the musicians of the other sets, just 'officer' and 'radio-man', I think the same is true of the 54mm range? possibly part of a 'command' set with the MP and the blue-kepi'ed regular army officers we'll look at soon.
