I am looking for ideas that might easily convert figures into Pakistani troops in 28mm. Since there are no figures with G3s, what about troops with AK47s. There seem to be enough armed with that. Stan Johansens' Iraquis with head conversions to berets?
Baker Company NVA, with US helmets?
Anyone have any ideas or thoughts? |

Mongrel miniatures syrians, that's what i use :) |

Do you use them with all the mixed head dress or do you convert? |

pretty much as is, i'm replacing some machinguns and painting them in US woodland camo
They can still be used as syrians with just a few swaps of "heavy" weapons :) |

And the guys in tracksuits only come out on syria-day :) |

The Pakistanis use the MG-3 correct? I wonder if an LMG swap by using one of the BAM MG-42's to replace the LMG of the Mongrel Syrians would work (do they have an LMG in their line of Syrians…there are no pics or descriptions on the site). I do swaps with those for my WWII Germans all the time. |

The Pakistani Army uses MG-3s Dshk FN MAGs and FN minimi (para's)
mongrel syrians has PK Mg's & Dshk =) They also have a Milan in pack 4 iirc, used by both pakistans army and syria :) |

Try Iraqi troops from Devil Dog design. You can get them through Jeff Valent. I just got a big order from him and he will cast up what ever you want. Take one or two of them and cut out the AK47 and glue in a soviet heavy weapon. |
