Wanting to Buy 120mm Modern weapons

[baronband]

Hi guys
i am looking to buy some modern 120mm weapons, i know Reedees do some great items but i am looking items such as a G36 or M249 SAW (basically any weapons used by private security companies) . Does Airborne miniatures? Still sell them or are there any other companies out there or indeed do any of you guys have any you might want to sell?
many thanks in advance
John

Have you tried "Live Resin". They do some wicked stuff, and were going to produce larger scales.

Or you can get them directly from the ABM website if its more convenient to your part of the world

I thought they had done a modern German carrying a G36 but I don't see it, so it may have been discontinued or just me "misremembering"

Hi John

Verlinden do a modern weapon set that includes a SAW. Check it out on Historex Agents http://www.historexagents.com/shop/hxproductdetail.php?ProductCode=665

The SAW in the Verlinden kit is the original version from the 80's/early 90's that you don't see anymore, and not with PMC's. In general they use the latest gear that money can buy.

I would definitely go with the Airborne Miniatures SAWs. I have a set and they look really good... one is Para version with short barrel and collapsible stock, while the other features plastic stock and long barrel. So, you can take your pick if you want to depict current PMCs.

As for G36, Jason is correct... Airborne Miniatures did it as well, but it was included in a set with a German figure and captured Taliban, which is now OOP I think.

I would suggest emailing Maciek directly: http://airborne-miniatures.blogspot.com/
He's a great guy and can probably tell you if he still has that G36 mold, and cast one for you.

Cheers,
Mario
