This range is turning into a wonderfully interactive process :)

And that's what's special about Pendraken - we had the same interactivity over the Falklands and it was - in my opinion - the best range to date in terms of accuracy and animation. 

Your help, knowledge and ideas are much appreciated and keeps the little Korean war sculpts on the corks appearing - by the magic that is Techno  :-bd

"The SCR‐300 has two different nomenclature variants. The more common type is SCR‐300a with the BC‐1000a. Normally, this type of radio is just shorthanded to SCR‐300. The other type is SCR‐300b with the BC‐1000b. These radios are, "practically identical except for slight differences in panel markings.""

Nobby/fsn sourced this great image of Americans yomping - like coming off the boat and the tab up to the Pusan parameter.  Is this a style of sculpt you would like in the Korean range ??

Friends of mine sometimes re-enact Korean war (Dutch contingent attached to the US 2nd Infantry Division and equipped by the US Army) and have most of the stuff you might be looking for.
Just let me know if you're looking for anything particular uniform or equipmentwise please let me know.

Cheers,

Thans Rob.   :-bd  Re-enactors tend to be a  reliable source on kit/uniforms.  Do your mates have a website or facebook page ? And what nations/war period do they re-enact?
Cheers

What you should have done is create a new thread asking for help.

But he is a proud man our Techno.  And when you do create a new thread about an existing topic, some nerd will be sure to rub your nose in it by resurrecting the original with "we have already discussed that" comment.

Oh for a culture that respects their elders.
