Subject: [SG] 15mm Helicopter
Thought I'd share this, a 15mm Russian Hind! http://www.mjfigures.bizland.com/newpage4.htm This one is a lead casting, there do seem to be quite a few more Air plastic kits at 1/100th to be had. I'm not having much luck finding 1/100th Armor plastic kits, closest I've gotte n is 1/87th Roco tanks.

Look here: http://members.tripod.com/~France40/models/copters.html#1/100 for a pretty comprehensive list of models and manufacturers. I did a web search for "Revell", "1/100", and "Blackhawk" to find the helos I got. I really don't know of anyplace to buy _plastic_ 1/100 armor, but modern lead 1/100 armor can be had from: Peter Pig (available thru Brookhurst here in the US) http://brookhursthobbies.com/Peter%20Pig/peter_pig_Index.htm or Quality Castings http://www.qualitycast.com/menu.htm In regards to your question about the Matchbox armor, those are all diecasts - about $1 here in the US at Toys R Us. My pair of Bradleys only cost me $2 and don't have to be painted! I'm slowly but surely assembling 15mm Modern and Sci-Fi armies 'cause I don't have nearly enough going on in my life right now...

For 15mm aircraft, check out the 1/144th scale kits as well. They're technically too small for 15 (which is something around 1/100th) but for strike craft that don't actually land infantry they work well, and there's loads of 1/144 aircraft kits out there. The attack VTOL I kitbashed was from 1/144 kits - see <http://warbard.iwarp.com/sg2gallery.html>
