American stationary anti-aircraft guns, another thing I bought by accident while not paying attention trying to buy some M163s.
Actually has crisper barrel detail than the Scotia M163 VADS, maybe they use the mould less often?
Might use them as part of an objective or something, but aren't all that useful for TY.
Cold war era miniatures in 6mm / 1:300 scale.
I basically started this blog because 6mm manufacturers often dont have especially good (or any) photos of their stuff, which is a shame because a lot of it is really great.
This is my attempt to alleviate that a bit, so anyone interested in 6mm can have a look, and to try and do the models themselves justice.

Scotia Grendel 9K33 Osa Gecko
Cost me a massive £1.15 for this guy
Separate turret parts as with the SA-13s, but I just glued it down for simplicity rather than magnetising it, team tankee turret-facing doesnt matter for an soft-skinned vehicle like this.
Coming to TY soon so I'll probably buy a few more of these.
Scotia Grendel SA-6 Gainful and Straight-Flush Radar
I really like these two, crisp detail, nicely cast tracks, just overall really great models imo. Neither are actually in Team Yankee, but the SA-7 could potentially work as a proxy for the 9K33 Osa which is coming out in Red Thunder.
Scotia Grendel Sa-13 Gopher
Pretty nice mini, the vehicle itself is pretty good, tracks and roadwheels are nicely detailed and cast, but the detail on the launcher is a bit sparse and the crisscross bars that are usually on top are absent, which is a shame.
The turret is actually a separate piece, but rather than magnetize it I dun goofed and glued it, so I'll probably buy some more (maybe try H&R too) and do them over at some point.

Vulcan minigun-equipped air defense for the Americans. Separate turret is a nice touch, but I recommend magnetising it or it will get lost for sure. Gun barrels are sculpted slightly rather than the gun just being a solid tube which looks good if you highlight them a little.
Scotia Grendel ZSU-23-4 Shilka
Alright, its a pretty good model. The gun barrels are flayed out a bit which isnt too bad from tabletop distance, its nice and chunky, the front of the model all looks good, but the detail completely disappears once you go beyond the turret, the engine deck is literally completely flat and featureless, the line I painted was just something I added to break it up a bit.
Its alright, maybe I'll have a look at H&Rs offering too.
H&R motor rifle platoon for TY
Almost finished a full Motor rifle platoon of H&R infantry, I was sent RPG-18s by accident rather than RPG-7s, but rifle platoons carry them anyway and the model is great and adds a bit of extra variety.
All being well, I'll have some RPG-7s soon enough.
But here we've got Riflemen and RPG-18s, PKM light MG teams, Gremlin SA-14 MANPADs and the Spigot AT-4s, all really great stuff and fit nicely with any GHQ troops you might have (there is a single GHQ model amongst them, see if you can pick him out)
