Type 86 is common (and he told me very bad stories about them...) but is being supplanted by the new IFV based on the BMP-3 (Type 97/ZBD-97). now we have just to find someone producing them in 15mm... I am in your same quandary, you can do an infantry based campaign, but MBT and IFV tend to appear very often anyway... Once I beggeg mr Khurasan but he told me he will not do vehicles for someone else infantry... now it is only Geoff at QRF...Arrigo "the Crazy"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14011138146055102156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462434491377638943.post-23211464413632718162014-01-20T16:46:04.501+02:002014-01-20T16:46:04.501+02:00Im not actually sure what Mr. China had on his min...Im not actually sure what Mr. China had on his mind - this was meant to be, at the very beginning at least, very much infantry based campaign, but more we looked into it, it became clear we need to include vehicles to make it more interesting.<br /><br />Though he did sent me a small list in some point about what he wanted me to include (I redid all/most vehicular and weapon statlines for FoF as the book/motor pool ones arent exact enough IMO), at least type 86 IFV was in it, and as it (the model) is easily available (as the basic version which is the most numerous one too is quite 1:1 with BMP-1) and still quite common in armoured units infantry batallions.<br />Im having Type 92 APC&IFV master on the pipeline, but I really have no idea how/where I can cast it - not to mention, its way too WIP to even discus about such thing.<br /><br />Curiously enough, I didnt include Type 99 at all - Type 96/96 A/G is included though, but like with the type 99, AFAIK nobody really produces them. Khurasan has some limited range TBA (type 59 at least), but the ultra-modern section is quite empty I afraid.Son Of The Lionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242137274076766911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462434491377638943.post-10694357146650193372014-01-20T12:53:29.690+02:002014-01-20T12:53:29.690+02:00big question (because I am doing the same project ...big question (because I am doing the same project too...) what you will use for the Chinese armor? do you know if someone has 15mm type 99 in the making?Arrigo "the Crazy"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14011138146055102156noreply@blogger.com
