Modern British vehicles

[John b]

Ok so my local games shop has stocked some empress miniatures and the force on force rule books and supporting books so a few of us have got a small force but we would like to go up a next level and start using vehicles and armour.

Can anyone recommend where I could find 28mm modern vehicles from the uk if possible?

Airfix?

Do airfix do 1:56??

1/48, for example they make a "Supacat HMT400 Jackal", the smaller version, Afghan houses, Land Rover Set and some other modern stuff like Lynx helicopters.

Would 1:48 scale vehicles fit in with 28mm troops?

[Glitzer]

With the bigger 35mm ones it would, do not try to fit it with the 1:56 types, like the ones from Wargames factory, but Black Scorpion, Copplestone and Reaper for example would work fine. I'll post a comparison pic with a Hobby Boss 1:48 tank, a Tamiya 1.48 mini and some Reaper minis tomorrow, so you can judge by yourself.

Here is a link to a picture on my Blog of a Snatch Landy from Airfix with some TAG Figures. In my opinion its a tiny bit too big, but I know that the Empress figures are a but bigger than TAG so it will probably be OK. Its all about personal taste at the end of the day.

S&S and Imprint were my choice.

The crews are from Brooks Miniatures available from Old Glory UK, I don't like the S&S figures.
Here they are with TAG infantry:
