FOV 1/32 82nd Airborne figures?

I'm thinking about getting a set of FOV 1/32 82nd Airborne figures to go with my FOV 1/32 M5A1 Stuart.
Can anyone give a review of the various 82nd Airborne sets---and do the figures have the 82nd Airborne "AA" patches on their uniforms?
Thanks.

Here are close up pictures of the various 82nd airborne fig sets. I don't see any AA patches:

Is it just me or do FOV figures have really HUGE hands. Looks kind of freaky.

I got the german 352nd infantry soldiers and they are way bigger than the figures you get with the vehicles so I couldn't use em , they also look horrible compared to the figures I got with my winter Hanomag . I suspect its the same case for the 82nd airborne figures

ZARTAN:

Thanks for the photos. You saved me money and trouble---I won't be buying the 82nd figures.

The only good FOV 82nd AB figures are the wounded one & medic and the two that come with the German POW set. The figures that come with the enthusiast series M3A3 Halftrack are also very nice. As for the rest of the 82nd AB figures that come carded or boxed, they stink!

If you need anything with the AA emblem, get the FOV Jeep, if I remember correctly it has the AA emblem.
