  They weren't used in the paraset but a few other clandestine WW2 sets 
used them. The US made & modified RBZ was one. The Brits seem to use 
them a little more with the MK XXI, Type 31/1, MCR1 and a couple of others.
I think the switch to miniature was made in the '50s with the increase 
in cold war espionage and toys.
