I am looking for Polish 1939 infantry and french 1940 infantry. I have 3 questions. Does anyone know of a manufacturer I could check? If I have to convert figures does anyone make the french Adrian helmet on this scale? And is the Polish helmet of 1939 similar enough to the russian or american helmets that I can substitue with slight modifications? Thanks
I’m sure Heller had some French infantry at that scale at one time… For info, the Adrian helmet was apparently issued to Polish reservists in '39.
Thanks for the reply,
I found out that “Ultracast” makes Adrian helmets in this scale and was thinking of buying some German infantry and converting them. One of the Osprey books on the Polish army pointed out that the cut of the polish uniform was similar to the cut of the early german uniform, so I will give this combination a try. I was hoping I would not have to go this way though.
Check Hornet & Wolf too.

Mike,
Thanks!!! Didn’t know about Hornet & Wolf, I checked their website and not only do they have Adrian helmet heads, Polish 1939 heads but also WWI German helmets which will allow me to create Polish infantry of the 10th Mech Brigade (1939). It certainly was worthwhile posting in this site!
