Scotia Micromodels (in N. America from Simtac) have a couple of very
nice
6mm infantry walkers. Big rounded things, with a gun arm and, for the
Heavy Support model, some sort of backpack-mount weapon.
(vertical-launch
GMS/H?). come to think of if, they do look sort of like the NSL PA.

Scotia also has soem very nice 6mm PA - I've got an entire reinforced
battalion plus supports awaiting painting, one of these years. The
regular
microarmour vehicles are also very nice.(lots of them around, too.
Further
battalions, in fact...)

On the down side, you should consider spending the extra Shipping &
Handling to deal directly with Scotia in the UK - SimTac's customer
service record & time-to-delivery is less than stellar, while Scotia's
is
excellent. Scotia also has a few more, different minis that Simtac
doesn't
make.
