hi ppl , new boy on here, been away from the modelling for a while now, but starting back.
The question that i have is this. Im trying to set a seen from the iraq conflict 2003 with a challenger 2 and warrior afv. the problem that i have is tamiya dont seem to be building the figures of british infantry anymore ( set of 4 with SA80 and LAW94 ). I know that they did as i bought some years ago........

so guys please help, i`ve already got the warrior and challenger just need the figures...

p.s. forgot to mention, just in case 1/35 scale.....lol

1st of foot ( grenadier guards )

I think you are referring to DML/Dragon
#3013 British Desert Rats which are still available.

Hi Keith,
yup, you are thinking of the DML/Dragon 3013 figures which are early 1st Gulf War..NBC Suits and (unless the moulds have been changed) oversized pouches for the PLCE webbing...problem is I cant find them around in the UK at the moment ( i got them as well when they were first out..long since lost/ binned/ eaten)
If you check http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57028&highlight=british+infantry+oif you can see the assault vest type webbing that seems to be the in thing at the moment, I'm not sure anyone makes really up-to-date Brit Inf. figures but I second phantom_major about Accurate Armour http://www.accurate-armour.com/showaaproducts.cfm?CFID=3074315&CFTOKEN=57116634&category=9&subcategory=54, again they are GW1 but they are really nice, the website doesnt do them justice..
There are a couple of Verlinden Brit figure sets in resin..GW1, you guessed it, No.s 2037/ 2038 but I think thats about it, sorry i cant be more help as a subject we are sorely neglected...just like real life :-)

thats brill martin, thanks for that, i`ve now found some more that i can get as well, gonna cost a few quid but worth it in the end.

Knew there was some more British stuff out there..

Hi mate, try going to the home page and going through the list of online shops on the lefthand side. I have just seen a load on there while looking for a padre.
1st of foot, I have served with the Glorious Grenadier Guards, they were gleaming :-) :-) Also I have been with the fighting micks (Irish) and am now with "second to none" (Coldstream). Let me now if you are currently serving with them please as I would like to track down a couple of people.
Cheers
