The new HG stuff wouldn't really work as 25mm PA - the proportions are
wrong - the waist is too narrow by a long way. Maybe aliens and/or
robotic
PA, though... The designs are identical to the old, big Gears, AFAIK.
Just
the size has changed. (I have an old, big Hunter Recon, and 5 new, small
Hunters. They're basically identical, except for details.)

Great 15mm infantry walkers, though!
