Can anyone suggest 28mm figures for 1970's U.N.I.T. troops ? They wore pale beige uniforms with a Beret and FN rifle. TIA |

Tango has the answer! Take a look at "More Army Privates with SMGs" below. They look like UNIT. |

When we did them in 1/35th they were ww2 bodies with weapon and headgear conversions

There's always the blacktree dr who unit. Also, look at Crooked Dice. |

How many smg's in that Blacktree box ? My references – DVDs of the 3rd Doctor- show the vast majority of troopers used the FN |

Blacktree also sells the troopers individually. I thin k you'll find the FLN ones in their 4th Doctor Series. Warlord Games recently acquired the Dr. Who Licencse, so there may well be a boxed set of plastic UNIT coming! |

Now I look at the Blacktree ones, they are wrong for what I want. link The Brig is wearing a short battledress in pale beige, and all the troops in this story the same. Not the ones modelled by BT. The ones linked above are much closer. |

How about these Falklands War figures? link There are smg armed and support weapons too, and you have the option to have the figures come with a choice of heads link |

It looks like they still have thigh length jackets not battledress. What I see on the dvd looks more like this - link |

How about Warlord Plastic British Infantry with SLR's and Sterlings from TAG? I have not looked at Beret options yet but think Warlord do Commando heads with berets. |
| Guthroth | 17 Oct 2015 2:25 p.m. PST |
Late war Brits with beret heads is about right, but UNIT – being more of a security organisation – didn't go in much for webbing. I am somewhat surprised that BT didn't do more with the FN. |

I had a look at the Classic dotcor who Imfdb page: link It does seem that the typical UNIT arms are FNFALs (SLR1), Sterling Sub machinegun (Machine Carbine?) and in a Silvester McCoy Episode Steyr AUGs, along with an array of Berreta, Webley, Walther, and Browning pistols. As far as special weapons go, Bazzokas seem to be prized along with a little tiny mortar. |
