I'm having a tough time finding retailers of 20mm Vietnam in the U.S. I know Syr carries Platoon 20 (which are a bit chunky for my taste) and RAFM Charlie Company minis can be found, but other than that there's not much.

Any suggestions? I'm looking for minis that will blend in with the Revell 1/72 'Nam sets.

When I was looking at plastic Vietnam figures I noticed they tend to be taller and thinner looking than metal figures. I wanted to use some plastics with my metal figures, but gave up on the idea.

However, as many people rightly say, not everyone is the same height and build.

Yeah for the most part the plastics are taller and thinner. I found the RAFM Charlie Company match pretty well. Someone on FieldsofFire suggested Liberation match up with the plastics too – unfortunately there's no distributor for Liberation minis in the U.S. anymore.

My SHQ miniatures seem to fit in alongside my old Esci (now Revell) figures just fine.
