I'm in search of U.S. Army Infantry figures with uniforms and equipment (TA-50) from the mid 80s to go with my M151A2 from the same time period. Can any anyone advise some resources? Thanks!

Do you want figures with the old M1 helmet or the later pagst helmet - it changed in the early eighties. Dragon used to have a good selection.

Nobody gave you an answer - I'm surprised; there are some classic sets that should be more or less easy to find (I was in the Army then too - so I hear you!)

Of course you may have found all these by now but just in case:

I'd start looking at Tamiya #35133 (Modern US Infantry), Tamiya #90772 (US Modern Elite), DML #3004 (US Rangers), DML #3011 (101st Air Assault), and maybe 5-6 others just from DML. Try this - DML kits

The picture link for #3006 (82nd Airborne) is dead but I highly recommend that kit. I'm sure you can get any of these on ebay. If not, send me a PM!
