Rapid Fire! 20mm Gulf War - Saladin's Division (part 6) - The Mechanized Regiment of the 6th Armoured Brigade


The second Mechanized Infantry Regiment I'm showing you now has a few differences from the first one (the Mechanized Regiment of the 12th Armoured Brigade). Again you can see three Skytrex BMP-1's but for the rest there are many differences.


The command group has a Toyota pick-up (Majorette mini), ESCI figures, including SAM-7 and a radio man from Skytrex.


Most of the figures are using the summer uniform. Some of them like the RPG-7 firer are ESCI from the Vietcong set with US M-1 helmets.


Another toy truck with another scratch built ZU-2-23mm. The figures are Atlantic.


The heavy weapons company uses ESCI and Hasegawa figures. The Milan A/T guided missile was also scratchbuilt from Evergreen plastics.


Next: the 8th Mechanized Infantry Brigade.
