Hi guys,
Im planning a diorama that will be set in Beirut in 1982 and I wanted to include the MNF somewhere in it. I know Tamiya makes a good kit of the Mutt as it was used in Grenada in 1983, I was just wondering if any suitable figures exist in the sort of poses shown here?
Many thanks

You could get the newer Tamiya M151A2 Grenada kit to start with. It is the same kit, but with some extra figures and gear. The figures would also work for MNF Lebanon. It comes with both Kevlars and M1 helmets for the figures.
Any of the older Dragon ODS-era figures would work as well. Just swap out their Kevlars for M1 helmets and their M16A2s for M16A1s and you will be good.
