Looking for an Aussie FSV vietnam period
« on: June 02, 2019, 01:05:31 AM »
Does any body know where I can get 1/56 scales (28mm) M113 FSV’s with a Saladin turret for the Vietnam period

Option A. 1/56 M113 of your choice (multiple choices), add Dinky Saladin turret (aprox 1/56 scale or thereabouts).

Option B. Butler’s Printed Manure make one IIRC. Time spent desperately filing back ridges is your own.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Option C. Wait until Empress get around to making Australians which they have said they will.

Despite owning a number of diecast Saladins, my own preference would be Option C.

Empress quote their vehicle scale as 1/50 (the HLBSCo models are 1/48).

I'd suggest your best bet is to drop Nic at Eureka Miniatures a line and harass him to consider modifying his m113/T50.

I'll be waiting for Empress to get around to releasing their own ANZAC range, and go with 1/50 for all my kit.
