Sloppy Jalopy, Chieftain Models and SandS scale models. Just do a Google search for these company names they are 1/56th scale British, American Israeli vehcicle are available by these manufacturers. You could also try Corgi the diecast toy car people they also do military ready bult and painted in 1/50th scale.
Hope this helps

I picked up some 1/43rd Schuco diecast LAV-25's to use as ASLAV-25's on Modelenium, they are a touch big, but not too bad. Try this http://www.modelenium.co.uk/models/models.aspx?P=2&M=Schuco&C=Military hlbs do nice 1/48th vehicles for british at http://www.hlbs.co.uk/type.php?id=29 as do sloppy jalopy.
Don't be tempted to get Kiu Hung/Kitech kits because of the price, they are grossly over-scale as far as I can tell from the ones I got, less 1/48th, more 1/35th!!

You can try www.diecastdirect.com they sell prepainted metal models in all scales, you'll need 1/48 to 1/56 to look right next to 28mm infantry.

Holy Cow! They're right up the road from me. I wonder if I can get a discount on shipping.
I can see my USMC rolling around in some Humvees for $4.95 each. Hopefully it's not a typo.

No it's not a typo and if look closely you'll see a lot of buy-one-get-one-free deals. I recently bought about two dozen cars and trucks to populate a modern day zombie game table and only spent around $50.
Here's a little good news bad news story:
I just received two HUGE boxes from my parents' house.
Bad news: I have a ton of plastic models in packing peanuts.
Good news: M1 tank, 2 personnel carriers, Apache helo, Hueys (my favorite), A-freakin'-10 tanksmasher.... I so can't wait for the BFE rules.

Got a good news/bad news thing going on here Roughneck GIR. Good news is most of the Brit Armour you can get hold of, same goes for the M1 tanks and ASLAV-25's (just use LAV-25's). Bad news is you will have to convert ASLAV-PC's 'cos I haven't been able to find anyone that makes 'em, same goes for Bushmasters.
Good news is, you're not alone in this, I'm trying to get an Aussie force together and I'm going to try to convert ASLAV-PC's and possibly even Bushmasters and I will try to make plans/sketches as I'm going along and send them/post 'em. Bad news is, ya can't have my vehicles once they're done!! :twisted:

I think you are all talking about 2 separate vehicles, the Btr-80, as standard, has 3 crew and 7 Infantry (inside), armament is an HMG and coax mg, or 30mm cannon on the BTR-80A.
The BTR-80 (at5), with a bank of 5 x AT-5 Konkurs ATGM, like on the BRDM-3, does not exist. The closest you would get to this would be the BTR-90, with a larger BTR-style hull and a BMP turret on top, or the 'new' BTR-T, which is a modified T-55 hull, with a BMP (?) turret, 3 crew and space for 5 or 6 assault troops. Similiar idea to what the Israeli's did with leftover centurions. 8)
