I'm ready to start my Korean War Project. The majority of the figures will be Imex.

Are there any metal ranges that are compatible as I would like to add some variety to my units-?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

This is as close as you'll get. I own a load of Chinese and would happily use them on the same tabletop.

SHQ ARVN might fit the bill too -I know wrong war but are equipped with Garands and BARS- would fit better for summer campaigns!(SHQ are always a good match for plastics in size and proportion- I also have some of the compatible Reiver troops and Lancashire Games Chinese-these are short and stocky!)

The Reiver Chinese are excellent -all in cold weather gear- but the US/Brits are a bit stilted.

I've had good luck making SHQ metals fit in with Imex, regardless of the period.

Hmmm….I thought SHQ were closer to actual 20mm. Is that incorrect?

Thanks,

John

John: SHQ are 1/76 so they are 20mm.
