Toro Models do some modern Polish figures.

Maybe you could use them as templates for ammo pouches and body armor.

Some Google images:

Hi;

As of this time there are not any AM kit's for the IBG Rosomak ! Other than the Metal Barrel, I already have my kit and the Metal Barrel was A must have item. Other than U.S. equipment there just not that much. Weapons, Packs, and Ammo cans are scarce, Depending on which Country and which version, the kit really needs AM details in the worse way. The version that I am going to model is the Samson OHWS with the Auto-Cannon.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Ermmm. Nope, this isn't entirely correct. As already posted above there are a few Master Model sets for Rosomak, Panzer Art "Michelin" wheels, there are also new "Nokian" wheels from DEF.Model and a few photoetched and resin sets (from Part and from Mk.FL).

Thanks all for your answers, i have already all things Pawel and Jansson said is avalible.. And i will buy the figures Hans-Hermann sent the link for.. Many thanks!
But what weapons are polish troops using now? Helmets are they the same as american Helmets? and things like that... Amunation boxes? 50cal?
Hope it's not to many questions... In some pictures it look like the russian sniper detection on the turret like live resin have released now but with not that many microphones or is that totally something else?

Since the Polish Army still uses Russian weapons, I think you can`t go wrong with some guns like AK-74 and RPM. As for the helmet, I think they developed their own model. My off-line sources say that teh Polish Army developed a new assault rifle called the FB Radom MSBS. It reminds a little to the FN SCAR, so you might use the Live Resin one as a base for a conversion.

Good old Wikipedia can provide a starting point for own researches.

Err, nope. Polish Army never used Soviet/Russian AK-74. What you see in photos is either Polish Tantal 5.45mm assault rifle (retired in 2005 - most sold to Iraq) or Beryl 5.56mm assault rifle. Both are somewhat similar to AK rifles (particularly the Tantal, which had several components interchangeable with AK-74), but not the same.

Not sure what you mean by RPM - if you mean PKM, then indeed it is still used, although being replaced by Polish UKM-2000, which is using NATO 7.62mm ammunition. UKM-2000 is also similar to PKM in appearance. I believe that in Afghanistan only weapons using NATO ammunition were used.

On the other hand, as both weapons are similar in appearance to Soviet weapons, it could be acceptable to use Soviet guns in this scale.

The MSBS rifle you mentioned has not been introduced to active Polish Army use yet (other than for test and as a parade weapon).
