Hello everyone,

Where to find for 28/30mm figurines, combat vehicles or not of all types (in metal if possible) used by the various belligerents of the Simba rebellion which took place, from 1961 to 1964, in Congo-Léopoldville (today the Democratic Republic from the Congo).Thank you.

I don't have any idea about vehicles. If I had to guess, I'd so no one makes them.

Yes for the instand it's off to a bad start.

But let's not drop the case.

Its been awhile since I read the Congo Mercenary books by Mike Hoare, all I remember are Jeeps and trucks. Could you enlighten me?

In 1960 Belgians left behind M8 Greyhounds, M3A1 Scout Cars and armoured Minerva Land Rover and armoured Jeeps no clue on numbers and how many were still running.
2 modified M8s were used in Katanga

What type are Britannia's resin jeeps?

Which manufactures sell metal jeeps in this scale?

Old Glory has West Wind's WVUSA-04 Jeep, think its all metal. 1/60 so might be smaller than normal.
Rubicon makes Jeeps, M3 Scout cars and M8 Greyhounds, but they are plastic.

Based on photos on the Minervas I'd look at Late war SAS jeep the gun shields look the same think Perry and Dixon do them in 28mm maybe others aswell

Battle Honors/19th Century Miniatures made some light vehicles out of metal decades ago. Anymore, metal is not a medium that casters want to make large vehicles out of. If you don't limit yourself to metal there is stuff out there.

Thank you all, I definitely only like all metal.
