I am buliding a Forward Operation Base of OIF. I was there in OIF 1 and im doing a lot from memory. I have 2 questions if anyone can help me. 1. Does anyone know of a company or website that deals with figurines and accesories from OIF. 2. Does anyone know of a company that makes GP small, Medium and Large tents. I want Olive Drab and Desert color. Im doing this in 1/35th scale and my base is of the U.S. Army. Any help would be great.

There are the DML Modern Marines that have IBA on, they can also be US Army Soldiers as well. Trumpeter has two OIF sets as well, USMC and 101 ABN. They are not as good as the DML set, but usable. Also, you can use any of the older DML ODS sets and swap out their torsos for IBA ones from DML Modern Marines or one of the Trump sets.

Verlinden did a GP Medium (?) a while ago as a vac-form kit. Don't know if it is still available though.

I think that Verlinden Tent was a bit small ..... and Out of scale..... I have some specs for the GP tents.... maybe a drawing or two.... I think issue paper is the best way to make one.....
