Royal Siam or Thai Forces of 20's or 30's
« on: December 06, 2013, 04:39:10 PM »
Does anyone know what Royal Siam or Thai Forces would have looked in the 1920's or 1930's? In addition, do you know of any 28mm manufacturers for this period? Thank you.

Would love to know more. Our next outing in summer 2014 is in s.east Asia, so will need some of these...

I saw some photos the other day, alas no link .
What I can recall is that they looked like British uniforms (officers with long jackets) with adrian helmets for Royal Thai Army.

A could point to start is axis history forum, they use to have some Inter war section with lots of Information on minor states as well.

Just so long as you find a spot for a 'Captain Orwell' ;)

For my money, Bob Murch's PYG-16 rifleman and the smg soldier in PYG-19 in his Chinese Warlord Yangzee Range are almost spot on. I use both for my 1930's & WW2 Thai. It gives nice options to fight the British, Chinese Nationalist & Warlord troops in Burma, Japanese, French in Cambodia and a variety river pirates, drug lords and petty warlords on every border.
