Aron - I've got a number of 1/100 (15mm) scale helicopters now
in various states of assembly.	Blackhawks, Hueys, a Hind, a
Cobra, and (soon) a CH-54 Tarhe and an OH-6.  Look here:
http://members.tripod.com/~France40/models/copters.html#1/100
for a pretty comprehensive list of models and manufacturers.  I did
a web search for "Revell", "1/100", and "Blackhawk" to find the
helos I got.

I really don't know of anyplace to buy _plastic_ 1/100 armor,
but modern lead 1/100 armor can be had from:
Peter Pig (available thru Brookhurst here in the US)
http://brookhursthobbies.com/Peter%20Pig/peter_pig_Index.htm
or Quality Castings
http://www.qualitycast.com/menu.htm

In regards to your question about the Matchbox armor, those
are all diecasts - about $1 here in the US at Toys R Us.  My
pair of Bradleys only cost me $2 and don't have to be painted!

I'm slowly but surely assembling 15mm Modern and Sci-Fi
armies 'cause I don't have nearly enough going on in my
life right now ...
