I am looking for Korean War in 28

With a little bit of modification these guys will fit the bill for US troops

Still not perfect though

They do work but it would be quite a bit of work filing off 30+ sets of gaiters and then adding green stuff to extend the trouser legs. Had they gone with the more typical double buckle boot and M43 jacket combo they would have been ideal. They are very nice figures if a bit fiddly in terms of getting the arms and weapons combos right. Worth getting to add some variety to your figures and they scale fairly well against companies like Empress, Eureka etc.

[commissarmoody]

Agreed.
Good enough for proxies, but still not the real thing.

It's quite odd, I seem to remember that at one time you couldn't find US WW2 Infantry in anything but the late war kit, now you can't find them with it.

[commissarmoody]

Funny how that works out. 

[commissarmoody]

Back from the grave, does any one know the TO&E of the Korean people's army and the Chinese forces?

[Arlequín]

I can't remember which sources I used, but I did put these posts together on my blog:

DPRK
CPVA

Good enough for government work. 
Thank you for the info.

Have a look at some of Artizans Devils Brigade

As a slightly off the wall suggestion it might be worth looking at some of the French figs in Red Stars Indo China range

 I have some of those. Again OK, proxies but several issues with them.

1) Trousers are the mountain troops variety with big bellow pockets.

2) Just about every figure has a holstered pistol and the way it is sculpted makes it a pain to file off.

The Red Star or rather ex Redstar FFL look nothing like US troops for Korea.

It was just a thought!

[commissarmoody]

Hey Arlequin do you still have the info on the DPRK and CPVA? I checked out the links and the info is no longer there.

Bolt-action warlord games winter war U.S. infantry. Off to a good start.

Yes, I took them down for re-writing and haven't had chance to do that. I can put them back up as they were if you like?

As for the Warlord figures, I can't understand why they mixed greatcoats with combat jackets... it would be one or the other.... and for Korea only the jackets work if memory serves.

[commissarmoody]

I will have to double check but I suspect you are right. Need to dig my books out of storage.
Warlord is history light, is the best thing I can figure. They love the Rambo effect of every one looking different. I mean yes units in the field in extended combat are not parade ready. But units usually get issued equipment in bulk, and that includes uniforms.

 I would still like to see the info online, and if its not to much trouble to repost it that is.. I need to write new notes and keep it in a place the GF wont think is trash.
