Hello:

Switched (from 15mm) to 20mm WWII in late 2015. Had a great deal of help from the gamers on the "WWII 20mm Models Review" here at TMP. I now want to move also into AIW at 20mm.

I am hoping to hear similar learned opinions on which 20mm [1/76, 1/72) manufacturers/scales are appropriate for 20mm 1967-73. Does the usual caveat for mixing scale is usually OK within the period but not within vehicle types a fairly safe guideline?

I have done much on-line surfing recently finding a huge selection of vendors but candid assessment largely lacking. It seems that AIW may not be popular above 15mm scale?

Any comments greatly appreciated.
