There is a new line of "GI Joe" vehicles. Most are pretty useless for
Star 
Grunt because the line has no consistent scale, however the M2 Bradley
will 
work for a small APC/IFV. I will convert it to hover or grav with a
little 
work. There is also a larger scale series that has an M113 - too large
by a 
small margin to BE an M113 in 20-25mm scale, but quite nice for a Kafer
"Bug 
Bus" with a little outward modification.
