Hi I'm new and looking for 1:24/25 modern russian wpns. AK, RPK, RPG, Russian 12.7 also 50 cal. I have some Aoshima Hilux Surf's and Hilux Double cab pu's I want to do up an Afghan Taliban sceen with. Also I have some ESCI Land Cruisers I've been thinking of doing up to. Other modern wpns might work to. I have searched and come up with nothing. Thanks for any help.

I have two of those crew cab Hiluxes myself. We did not use them (we used Tacomas) but they're close enough for me. Never saw a .50 on them, but we used M249s and M240Bs. The two MGs in the Esci 1/25 Paratrooper Land Rover can be made into M240Bs. If you really want a .50 get the Hasegawa Jeep in 1/24. The rest you'll have to scratchbuild.
There's also a 1/25 Robocop car that supposedly has an M16. You could turn it into an SPR.

You can order a .50 MG from The Model Dockyard :

I saw Tacos when I was there I was thinking Hilux's/ Hilux Surf's for Taliban vehicles or private security, used to see alot of that with AK's and RPK's. I have two C-6 GPMG's from those para trooper land rovers. I also have a recoiless from a MPC jeep kit I was thinking of detailing and putting in one of the Land Cruisers like the MIG kit. I will have to check out some of the police kits I have and see if they have any wpns left. Thanks for the 50 link. Did samkid ever end up doing a store? I could not find anything on that and he had some great stuff.

Policecarmodels make some resin 1/24-1/25 "generic" commo gear along with a riot gun :

After a closer look I might be able to make AK's out of one of these 2nd down left
