they are amed mostly with akm's but some have rpk's and pistols,

then the white spec ops, european criminal gangs or body guards,

there are 10 assorted in each pack and the african pk has the sunroof rpg gunner as well.
we have more to come including ones in berets and some armed women passengers,
more new figures in the form of what we have called the paramilitary or police type forces,
(http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t339/sandsmodels/20mm%20figures/SSCapInfantry4.jpg)
these have modern body armour and webbing and are armed with modern us weapons, m16a1's and m60 mg's.

most are carrying the usual loads on thier heads or hands,
then we have 4 cold war classics,
first the typical postwar british gs truck, the bedford rl 4 ton gs,
(http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t339/sandsmodels/modern%2020mm%20vehicles/DSCN1431.jpg)

it also featured in dr who as a unit truck,

a simple resin body and metal wheels.

next up is 2 postwar m113 variants, the m106 107mm mortar carrier,
(http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t339/sandsmodels/modern%2020mm%20vehicles/DSCN1636.jpg)

I think that this Corgi Bedford was 1/50:

Shaun, those passenger half-figures are a great idea!

Post by: sandsmodels on September 15, 2011, 08:25:24 PM: hi guys
thanks for the comments, they are indeed all to 20mm scale.
we had looked at doing a 28mm bedford rl, but our 28mm vehicles are quite a bit smaller than 1/48-1/50th models.
you can actualy buy a resin and metal kit of a bedford rl in 1/50th scales, they do pop up on ebay every now and then, but not a cheap model and quite a few parts make it not a very gamer friendly model.
