Anyone wanting 1/87 stuff, theer's two companies I can recommend:

First, Preiser. German Model Railway figurines. But also has Bundeswehr
in 1/87 scale, about 200 to a box, every one a different pose. All
waepons are seperate, and include Karl Gustav 84mm RCL, Uzis aplenty, G3
auto-rifles and LMGs. Plus assault engineers, paratroops in berets, etc.

Secondly, RoCo Minitanks. Austrian I believe. Very large range of 1/87
fine-scale military models. The M-114 may have been a dog, but it looks
good, especially with a 20mm on it. And of course, heaps of obscure
Hotchkiss and MoWag AFVs from the 60s which look good too.
