Ok so I have been trying to make a list for the invasion of Yugoslavia and need to find some models that would work nicely as depicting the yugoslavs any suggestions would be welcome and I can't find many references for how to paint the enlisted Yugoslavians. Any help would be appreciated. |

Are you looking for Yugoslav army or for partisan types? |

Yugoslav army I found uniforms for the officers but it also noted that regular soldiers had a different uniform. I have a bunch of left over Russians I am hoping to use if the uniforms are similar. |

link There's a few photos on the wiki. In 15mm, you could probably get away with Russians and not worry too much about it. |

They do have a nice range there and definitely what i was looking for the only problem is that I don't really have any 10mm stuff i mostly do 15mm do they do any 15mm stuff. |

Use 15mm WW1 French. Minifigs are the most appropriate. The helmet is right and the overcoat looks fine.
Tanks are Renault FT 18s Can get those from QRF or Battlefront or Forged in battle. I think someone does WW1 Yugoslavs with their characteristic soft hat. Its Eureka I think??? Site for Yugoslavguns link
Minifigs do I think an Austrian WW1 fieldpiece. As most Yugo stuff was inherited Austrian WW1 that should be OK for artillery |

You could do worse than use the BF or QRF French 47mm anti tank gun for this baby
They also had a 37mm Skoda which could be done with a bit of scratch building! |

Thanks for all the feedback guys I think ill go with the battlefront french stuff since that early war stuff is on sale for a few more days |

Eureka do Serbs in their 15mm WW1 range and mixing a few of those in e.g. these gun crew w, would give the force an authentic look.
