Paracel are building up a nice collection of figures for this conflict. While there are plenty of vehicles available for Desert Storm, figures have been few and far in between. So this is a welcome release.
The Paracel figures that I have are quite nice.

I was in Desert Storm and we wore a mix of uniforms depending on the state of repair. Some had nomex, some wore chocolate chips. There was no uniform resupply. Most wore the armor crewman style protective vest. Those that wore the grunt vest had the desert camo cover on it

The lovely charcoal suit of yore. Memories… Oh! Memories…

yeah, looking like coal miners with the charcoal in the suits.
Vaguely, yes…
And there was another smaller detector paper that came in a book and were taped in opposite locations… you could give positive readings on either one by squirting bug juice on them… for training purposes of course
