My quest to make a JNA (Yugoslavian) force for Team Yankee is getting closer to completion. I recently completed painting up the infantry. I painted them up quickly, using a dark gray-green spray primer and then dipping them using MinWax PolyShade: Tudor after adding some detail. These will join the T-55s and BTR-60s I have already painted up.
I ended up using Plastic Soldier Company's 15mm Modern Russians, although they are not the best match historically, at 15mm they were close enough for my purposes. Originally, I was going to use Battlefront's own East German miniatures as those more closely matched the helmet style used in Yugoslavia at the time. However, I decided to create a larger force and instead painted those up a blue Cobra force from GI Joe.
I plan to use the Iraqi rules in Oil War for this force when finished, and I hope to get
them on the table as soon as I add some Gazelle helicopters to round things out.
