The face is almost the same, no head swap needed on that bloke...

Got hold of some of the 1960's Aden Brits from Eureka, had a go at some 1960's Rhodesian Light Infanty.
Added some extra ammo pouches, waterbottles & some small packs from Under Fire minis.

Very cool! I painted up a section’s worth for 1965 as opposition for a hypothetical Brirish intervention over UDI. I went with the very early khaki and JG mix they seem to have worn pre camo.
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

I should probably have gone with pale green bush hats, but I'd already started on the camo before i thought about it...

Here's the other two.

A man who picks out the tracer rounds on his ammo belts is a man to be in awe of!

Cheers for all the comments chaps.

I found some other Eureka RAR figures in my box of bits and had a go at a 'Wild Geese' type Simba. Attacked his hat with a Dremel and added some GS to his shirt to make it look more like a jacket.






Comparison with a previous one:

Thought the bloke in the middle looked the part for a Soviet advisor, so added him to my little FAPLA platoon:
