Westy,

Does anyone have plans for 1980s US infantry?

So
UnderFire - NVA and Bundeswehr
Empress - BAOR
Anybody managed to persuade Tony to do the Soviets?

Might be tempted to fill me boots, have the UFM NVA already, and they are very nice models, that Strichtarn is a nightmare to paint though  lol
at least I won't have to attempt Flecktarn for the Bundeswehr though. :D

Would like to see a couple of G3 armed packs, just to add variety to the Bundeswehr sections, and feel the Milan team might be more usable than the Berlin Coppers.

To be fair it'll probably be the Berlin Police first.

Bill, marvellous news on the SADF. In bush hats I presume?

Hoping we'll see a chap with an M79 and an RPG for externals into Angola?

There are always the Eureka Soviet Motor Rifle troops for Afghanistan, they are in the KLMK camouflage suits and have the early Soviet body armour but neither was exclusive to Afghanistan. Very nice figures I have a platoon and bit'w worth myself. Some of Kosta's best work to date.

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

Have to see how those Eureka figures scale up to the UFM ones, they could prove useful. Shame about the G3 pack, might find a use for Berlin polizei.
Will have to do a bit of converting to get a mix of figures in the squads, will see what UFM come up with.
Now, busy digging up all the old plans I have stashed away, there is a need for some In-scale Marder 1A2, BTR 60, T-55 and maybe a Leopard 1. Already started on a 1/50th FV432

Good news on the SADF. What sort of kit are they going to have? Patt 70 webbing or patt 83 battle jackets?

Hi Ash. I'll be starting with the Cuito Cuanavale battle(s), the reason being that all the major factions (FAPLA, SADF, UNITA & Cubans) were there, bar SWAPO. The SADF will be up first and they'll be equipped with the pattern 83 combat vests.
