      Niger, officially the Republic of the Niger, is a landlocked country in West Africa. It is bordered by Libya to the northeast, Chad to the east, Nigeria to the south, Benin and Burkina Faso to the southwest, Mali to the west, and Algeria to the northwest. The French were a major influence in the region and the official language is French. At one time Niger had an Airborne Unit. It is unknown if they still do. Here are some representative Parachute wings from Niger. All were made by DRAGO in Paris, France except the upper left which was made by another French company, Arthus Bertrand of Paris.

      Thank you! Next step was a wash with "Citadel Agrax Earthshade". After it has dried I drybrushed the whole gun again with Tamiya XF-60 dark yellow.

      I got this one while attending a NATO Intel Officer's Course at the school at Ashford, Kent in the early 90s from two young Lts from the (then new) Zimbabwe Intel Corps (one Black, one White).  We had some interesting discussions!
