Hi all, just doing a little research regarding a next potential model. Just trying to find out what 1/35 weapons are matches for 1:1 weapons used currently by the Australian army. I know the Austeyr from Mousehouse Armour is available, and live resin make some amazing weapons, any of these suitable?? If so what are the kit numbers

Heckler and Koch Hk416? Obviously the m9 sidearm....

Thanks, Nick

Hi Jon, yeah I've had a good look there, just thought someone might have a bit more insight or personal experience into what is used, such as a returned servicemen whos on this forum.

I've seen a photo or two of Aussies with m4's, but that's not on the adf website.

This is the link to the Defence web site, showcasing all of the basic Infantry Small Arms.
Australian Army Small Arms
The M4A1's you are referring too, are used by SASR and Commando's.
The Defence site has 1000's of photo's of them.

Yep, (depending on the time frame) pretty sure the F88A2 now. It used to be the F88C (carbine).
