Hi Mart

Made my day to discover these are comming.

Early cold war moves ever closer!

Are the M48 a one off or a start at re doing some of the older "modern" vehicles to match current standards?

Will be buying the new M48 once available.

It's only really the M48 as the current one in the Vietnam range was done by a different designer and isn't quite right when put next to the M46/M47's.

I was thinking of Soviets, E Germans, Poles etc., British in 57 Pattern webbing and MkIV helmets.  Not really interested in ME and Asian wars.

For the Brits - look to the Falklands range. For most European armies the Argentines should do. Excptions would be the French and US.

So if I want more M48s to match the one I've already got, I'd better get them quick?

Sorry, but although the Falkland range has some suitable British figures, I'm not interested in figures that just 'do'.

OK - Dutch, M! Helmet, FN, MAG, Danes similar, as are the Belguims and Canadians (although they used  a heavy barrel FN as LMG), Germans HK G3, which at 10mm looks like the FN, but silly MGs, (never did like the MG3). That cloes enough to do ? Particulay since all the combat kit was based on the US stuff.

Not really.  I reiterate.  "I was thinking of Soviets, E Germans, Poles etc".  I know what allied troops looked like in the 1970s, and the kit they used..

We'd still have the old mould in the workshop so we can still supply older models if you need to finish off existing armies, no worries.
