So ideally US looking kit, with FNs. Does anyone make them?

Or is it a case of using US Vietnam figs as the closest substitute?

I’m down scaling and putting my 15 mm Golan stuff on eBay!

Not heard of any - may be the pending Pendraken Korean US will do ? Reservists may have worn Brodies rather than M1 helmets, which make it worse.

Luck with the search !

Dave - try minifigs, look usable.

Thanks Ian - huge help

Would Pendraken's Argentinians do the job?

Clothing would be a bit bulky on those, as they are in winter kit. Otherwise yes...

Crikey chaps - that’s clever. A lot of the Argie uniform kit was made in Israel as well.

Also I have the Argies for Goose Green. Their coats might be a little bulky, but otherwise they could do it.

Ian, you’re right - their parkas have big (hooded) collars, so perhaps it’s a no for the Argies. The Aussies look like a far better option and I can green stuff some helmets.

Actually the Argentinians used the Israeli Parka, so if you are replacing Golan kit then they'd be ok. I used to have a couple in my Kibbutz days as you do need them up in the Golan and Galilee when it gets a bit nippy! They are mighty warm and one did me sterling service for years when I came back to Blighty.

Thanks. I’ve got the Argies and they do look ideal. The hood isn’t too pronounced. I’ve been looking at the US Vietnam range as well, but I think the Argies look better. The only issue is in pictures that are clearly identifiable as Golan ‘73 there aren’t that many parkas.
