What Scale are the original BF:EVO mongoose models?

[DaltonCalford]

I have a great number of existing models and now I would like to buy some kits to create a new faction - the Canadian Armed Forces.

I need to find a source of supply for LAVIII and Canadian Infantry.

I would also like some help in figuring out what kind of MBT the Canadian forces would be using in 10 years time.

I am looking at creating an entire infantry platoon.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

best regards

Dalton

1:64/26-28mm for old entries.... the new BF Evo : Modern combat will be actually focusing on 1:72/20mm models

 

[DaltonCalford]

ok, next question

What companies produce model kits for 1/64" scale?

 

[JayRaider]

None (that i know of) .

 

[Rabidchild]

Corgi Tactical Strike series is in 1:64.

 

[JayRaider]

Thats true.
Hmmwv,Apache,Bradley,Abrams,Avenger and Littlebird copter.
Make sure its the Tactical Strike series from Corgi.

So, what everyone is saying is that mongoose picked a scale for BF:EVO that no-one else supports.

That's a good decision for a company that produces mini's, but not so good for the customers if they STOP making mini's.

What are people doing to supplement their forces, or am I the only one who bought BF:EVO models?

 

[JayRaider]

I have lots and lots of official Evo figures and the Corgi Tactical Strike
I just mixed them with 1/72 scale.
I don't mind the size differences.
I see the models as game pieces so scale doesn't bother me

You'll find it much easier to just get 20mm stuff. There should either be metal canadians in 20mm produced by somebody, or you can convert US marines (and there are some plastics that might do quite nicely for that).

I say that 1:72 is better now, not that I say 1:64 is bad It's just very hard to find 1:64 models especially infantry ones :x but if you wish, buy the USMC marines and convert them to your taste, the canadian.
If you change your minds and switch to 1:72, I could help finding all 20mm/1:72 models for you (PM me). Bear in mind, that I never heard canadian forces in 20mm.
