I would be interested in some figures from this period. Although I would be more interested in Australian troops I would happily buy some Americans. Of course I would buy both North Koreans and Chinese too.

The M38A1 is basically the military version of the CJ5. If anyone is after some, there are some  decent diecast versions from Johnny Lightning/ Mattel. They were being sold for around $3-5 a pop when I bought mine and the bonnet even opens to show a miniature engine. They are nominally 1/64 but they seem to go well with 28mm figures. I bought  a number to go with my Portuguese and I think they look fine although I'm not super anal about vehicle scales.

Actually I think Korea is oddly enough one of those periods that's well catered for in the vehicle department. About the only two things that I can't think of in an appropriate scale are the M46 tank and the M19 SPAA. Jeff Trinka is about to bring out an M26. Pretty much everything else exists in resin, plastic or diecast metal from one or another WW2 range.

I noticed that JTFM have an Indiegogo page for the M26 Pershing up btw.

So with the exception of the fore-mentioned M38 Jeep, M37 and M35 trucks, the M46 Patton and the M19 GMC, pretty much the full range of Korean War vehicles is, or is soon to be, out there somewhere.

Do try to keep up old chap!  ;)

Nevertheless, it is... even the Soviet kit is all there too iirc. All that's missing are the figures.

Are these new Artizan WW2 Special Service Force figures in parkas of any use?

Please pardon my ignorance, as I'm way outside my comfort zone. When I first saw the images of the figures in parkas my immediate thought was they would be useful for Korea, but are the new Artisan WWII Devil's brigade figures not suitable for Korea?

I actually didn't even know they existed  lol.
I am thinking they will work just fine for the first winter of the war and for the Chosin reservoir.

I understand where you are coming from, and would like to eventual do the commonwealth troops also.

I think that they're a brand new release this week - so you can be forgiven for not knowing that they existed!

Some are, some aren't. Those that aren't are wearing the M1941 Field Jacket, which is somewhat shorter than the M1943 one, which reached to the thighs.
/buttoncounting.

To be honest though, I'd be happy to use them as is. So one or two of them have the wrong jacket, big deal. They have the 'look' over all, especially the Parka clad ones.

Annoyingly (for our purposes) they are virtually all equipped with pistol holsters and even more annoyingly most packs are a mix of shirtsleeves, M41 Parsons Jackets etc. Makes it a bit of a bugger if you plan on using them in the depths of a Korean winter.

I was so busy getting one over on Carlos, that I actually forgot to say that Warlord Games have a M26 Pershing in their range, besides the forthcoming Jeff Trinka one.

Oh I should say that when I was saying they would work in a pinch I was referring the Artizan regular winter world war 2 set. So I guess the plane is still on for late Korean war/1950s US troops in summer and winter gear.   lol

And then Maybe a set based off of the movie "Pork chop hill"
